Synopsis
“The ability to write letters must have brought the world a terrible disturbance of souls. Because it is a relationship with ghosts - and not only with the phantom of the recipient, but also with the own. Who can think is possible to maintain relationships through correspondence!” Letter from Franz Kafka to Milena Jesenska, 1920
