"Letter Tape" is an animated documentary about two engaged lovers separated by time zones and several oceans. The audio is an actual tape recording Cathy (the directors mother) made on a hired audio machine, in London in 1957, to communicate intimately to her fiancé after frustrated broken telephone conversations.
Cathy describes a wintry London, heaving under a cloud of smog and imagines a time when they can be together again. It is both personal and global in its subject and offers a snap shot look at the western world in 1957.
