For thirty years Margaret and Leonardo have sat each day at adjoining desks, writing postcards to famous people, without ever getting any answers.
Having run out of live personages to write to they decide to address their cards to the famous dead -- but, suddenly, much to their consternation, a reply does arrive.
Its effect is shattering, and brings on a poignant revelation of the unspoken feelings which have, through all the years, lay dormant beneath the calm surface of their very correct relationship.
