Careful, finely-honed directing by Klaus Härö, known for his artful cinematography, and wonderful performances by Heikki Nousiainen and Kaarina Hazard explain why this film won so many international awards.

Plot: A blind, elderly Pastor’s life mission is to answer letters from people asking for help.  His new assistant sees this as a pointless task but needs the job and the place to live.  The letters stop coming, shaking the foundation of the parsonage.
