Josh and Mary are friends. Josh lives in London and Mary in Argentina. They meet for a brief period in London and promise to write letters to each other and to never use Facebook, Instagram or emails.

Whilst they are apart, Josh gets fired from his job and travels to India and Mary falls in love with an Irish man. Their bond grows stronger as they share the most intrinsic details of their lives through letters. An unexpected event in Mary’s life challenges the virtue of their friendship and makes them question what they really mean for each other.

In Letters, Raja creates a world that is devoid of the transitory nature of instant messaging and brings back the nostalgic era of writing letters. It reminds us that some connections are so pure that they have the power to transcend time and distance.
