Dead Letter Office
Alice has been writing to her absent father since she was a little girl. The letters always came back, bearing the stamp of the Dead Letter Office. Now grown up and finding herself unemployed, she gets a job in the very office, still hoping perhaps to track him down – just to see his face. It may help make her feel better. She is hired by the rather reserved manager, Frank, and taken in by the small team who run the dead end of the postal service. Prompted by the team’s work, Alice begins her quest for Dad – eventually enlisting Frank’s reluctant help. Frank, after all, prefers to leave some things alone when nothing good can come of them; he has been deeply hurt in the past, and has lived inside his shell for years. Alice’s attitude and her innocently determined quest gently unlocks the door to the shell.
