The Penpal

Synopsis

Director Sarah Klewes is merely twelve years old when she meets writer Claretta Cerio, 65 years her senior, in Tuscany. They begin a pen friendship that lasts 15 years. Then Claretta dies. The world loses an exciting author – and Sarah loses a dear friend. She is left with a box full of letters – and the feeling that Claretta somehow is still there. With the letters in her luggage, she travels to Italy in 2022 to remember her friend – and dares to glimpse into the past.
In a mix of fictional scenes and documentary interviews, the portrait of a fascinating writer unfolds. Despite numerous strokes of fate, Claretta Cerio was independent, passionate and an exciting contemporary witness.
