Synopsis
Il Mare
In the year 1999, a young woman leaves her quaint seaside house and returns to the city, leaving in the mailbox a card for the next owner, with instructions to forward any mail of hers to the new address.

His reply, which he slips into the mailbox, finds its way to her, beginning a parallel-time love story separated by a span of two years.
