Tina Hopgood mails off a letter to the Silkeborg Museum, not expecting a reply. Professor Anders Larsen responds to the letter, not expecting anything further.
But Tina does reply and Anders replies to that reply, and so on, and so on, and as time passes and the letters fly back and forth, Tina and Anders are given a venue to think out their lives, the past and the present as well as the future.
This is a gentle story of the powerful effects of friendship.
