Jesper okazuje się najgorszym studentem w historii akademii listonoszy i zostaje przeniesiony na mroźną wyspę za północnym kołem podbiegunowym, gdzie skłóceni mieszkańcy rzadko ze sobą rozmawiają, a o pisaniu listów nie ma nawet mowy. Jesper jest już bliski rezygnacji, gdy znajduje wsparcie u miejscowej nauczycielki o imieniu Alva i poznaje Klausa, tajemniczego stolarza, który mieszka samotnie w chatce pełnej własnej roboty zabawek. Ta wyjątkowa przyjaźń przywraca radość życia w Smeerensburg, skłaniając sąsiadów do hojności i wprowadzając nowe, pełne magii zwyczaje, jak wieszanie skarpet na kominku.

Zakończona przed laty Wielka Wojna wpłynęła nie tylko na panujące w Leidenschaftlich układy militarne i polityczne, ale jak każdy konflikt na dużą skalę, najsilniej odcisnęła swoje piętno na codzienności ludności cywilnej. Jedną z takich pośrednich ofiar była Amy Bartlett – młodociana włóczęga o niejasnej przeszłości, której i tak już beznadziejna sytuacja uległa pogorszeniu wskutek wojennego kryzysu. Fatalne warunki życia nie zdołały jednak zabić w zdeterminowanej nastolatce ludzkich odruchów. Gdy pewnego dni natknęła się ona w slumsach na osieroconą dziewczynkę, postanowiła nadać jej imię Taylor i zająć się nią jak siostrą – trochę ze współczucia, trochę z potrzeby bliskości, a trochę z przekory i chęci postawienia się losowi. Kiedy jednak mimo zamieszkiwania pustostanów i żywienia się odpadkami dziewczynom udało się stworzyć silną relację, na przeszkodzie stanęło zakończenie wojny.
In the summer of 1963, François Mitterrand was going through a deep existential crisis. His political career was at a standstill and, after 19 years of marriage, the couple had grown apart. It was at this point that François Mitterrand met the woman who was to give new meaning to his life. Anne Pingeot, aged 19, was to become the companion of a lifetime, a woman who would be with him throughout his rise to power and who would remain by his side until his last breath. For the first time, Anne Pingeot has agreed to allow the fragments of this passionate love story — hundreds of letters and a diary — to be shown on television, before being donated to the National Library.

Hate Mail is an epistolary play something like Love Letters, with two actors reading letters and other correspondence, but it's a little wilder and more hysterically funny. It tells the story of Preston, a spoiled rich kid who meets his match in Dahlia, an angst-filled artist. Their worlds collide when Preston sends a complaint letter that gets Dahlia fired from her job, and then there's no turning back. The play stays with their increasingly crazed correspondence as they move from hate to love, and then right back again.

"Letters from Europe" brings to light the words of men and women who gave their lives resisting the Nazi and fascist conquest from 1939 to '45 across the European continent. The moving goodbyes penned by a few of those sentenced to death are sometimes true spiritual testaments that explore the meaning of civic responsibility, human existence, fraternity, and life and death. Their words, which the film mingles with footage of the present day, can perhaps restore meaning to a humanist ideal and to the ever-changing idea of a united Europe.
