The Postman

Directed by Andrey Razenkov

With Alexander Petrov, Inga Strelkova-Oboldina, Dmitry Kovgan, Aleksandr Michkov and Yuri Belyayev

The autistic postman had been diligently delivering mail since childhood. The whole town knew and loved him, and a few families held a special place in his heart. One day, he couldn’t bring himself to deliver a death notice. Instead, he wrote a “letter from the front”. From then on, he replaced death notices with letters, and no one ever suspected the deception because the postman was a talented man – his letters seemed to be written by different people. But this didn’t last long, because during wartime, the military authorities closely monitored the mail.
