The Unwritten Letter

1985 · 10 min · ★ 7.4 · Animation, Romance

A penetrating and psychologically subtle story of one separation and what remains after it. How much a letter, which never saw the light, meant in the life of a loving couple? The palette of the human senses comes alive with graceful images. The beauty of the figure, a variety of techniques and mesmerizing melody of musical accompaniment subdued the jury of Animated Film Festival in Minsk in 1987, in Czechoslovakia and in Kyiv.
