Lilja and Sandra decide to play a prank on Melitta. They send her a love letter signed with an invented name – a boy's. When Lilja receives a letter in return, she begins a secret correspondence. What started off as a practical joke turns into a crucial turning point in Lilja’s life. Next Door Letters is an animated short film based on a true story about playing with identity.
Lilja and Sandra\'s first love relationship in their early days has become a precious experience for their future lives. Next Door Letters is a lovely and mature coming of an age animation showing that love is a powerful personal development process helping understand oneself better and find his or her own dream.
