In many isolated areas of Latgale, the postman is the only person who not only delivers letters, but also listens to the hearts of the locals. He is welcomed as a close friend with whom to share joys and sorrows and from whom to learn the latest news. Times are changing, life is becoming more modern, and small post offices, where neighbors could meet neighbors, are rapidly disappearing. The filmmakers visit the Krāslava post office and follow the postmen on their daily route, encountering both the warmth of Latgale and, at times, bitter reflections and bright hopes.
