Dear Elizabeth
Friday April 4 at 11:00am - Out Of The Box Program
(Vancouver, 7:10minutes, English)
A box of handwritten letters takes us on a journey through a young man’s national service, as he courts his wife to be. Years later, during lockdown, his children re-read their late Father’s letters, to their Mum, Elizabeth, providing a much needed connection, while she is in isolation during her final days.
