LOST LETTERS AND WHERE DO THEY GO

What a charming short film from British/Brazilian director Ana Graca. Moving at a deliberate slow pace, we see a new friendship evolve due to a misaddressed letter. The story follows Rupert Bell (Louie Stow), a 7-year-old aspiring pilot, who is bored at home when the mailman arrives with a misaddressed letter. When Rupert ventures out trying to find the right addressee - an apparently grumpy old lady named Clarabella (Elsa Annushka) - he finds out that first impressions can be misleading and that they actually share a mutual passion.

Nicely produced with excellent camera work, audio and casting. Louis Show, who plays the young protagonist, Rupert Bell, really climbs into his role and you resonate with his situation. Elsa Annushka, as Clarabella, has a kind and quiet presence, beginning when she brings a bandage to patch up Rubert's scraped knee. The background music lends an element of suspense and drive as Rupert discovers the misaddressed letter and decides to track down its proper recipient. I love the costuming, especially Rupert's pilot's hat, which shows us his passion for flying - that, plus the scene where he glances up at an airplane in the sky above. When Clarabella shows the photograph of herself and an airplane, Rupert's reaction is adorable and a new friendship begins to unfold.

The film's message is about loneliness and friendship - and how can they have many different shapes. In this case, two very different people find a common bond in their interest in airplanes. I give Lost Letters And Where Do They Go 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
