2015 | Students film, Short | Director: Liva Kalnina

We are all mutually connected with invisible and delicate lines. Even if we never meet, our actions and only the plain existence can influence and even change the lives and realities of other people. The small, mysterious coincidences make our lives real. They let us realize that we are all sharing the same space and time – the same universe.

A visual poem in which life-lines of 3 people are connected in direct as well as indirect ways. This clashing of different people’s realities happens with the help of a mailbox, which becomes one of the story’s characters itself.
