The Letter follows a recently arrived immigrant and his family as they face an impossible deadline to leave the United States or risk deportation. Told through the lens of the filmmaker’s close friendship with the subject, the film centers on the slow dismantling of the family’s home—an act that becomes both practical and symbolic—capturing fear, love, and resilience as neighbors, church members, and community activists rally together, leaving a visible absence where a family once belonged.
