The heart warming story of Maggy Fuller, a rebellious teenager, who receives a life-affirming letter from an unknown source and sets out to track down the writer of the letter. She discovers the writer is an elderly man, living in a nursing home, whom she has never met. Letter writing is an all-but-forgotten art form, and Sam writes a compassionate letter with the fervour of a true master craftsman, capturing the beauty of selfless service and love. Maggy is inspired and decides to become his apprentice. His friendship will change her life forever.
A charming coming of age story, The Letter Writer is a great family film. Maggy learns what true friendship is and how to live up to her potential. It is a touching story, you may want to bring a tissue!
