Two facing windows – only a few metres of distance still it is more difficult to bridge it than to travel around the world. The little boy and the little girl are sizing each other from their respective windows until the boy collects enough courage to write a letter to the girl. The letter, however, wanders over seas and through continents until that sole very important sentence that recipient has been waiting for such a long time reaches its destination, so that she could send her reply with the very same words … A beautiful tale about persistency and love …
