Cartas a Elena

Taglines

Overview

In the beautiful hills of the Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, Mexico, a young boy (Emilio) is adopted by the mailman (Teo). As part of their daily tasks, they not only deliver the mail but read letters to the villagers, as well as take dictation, since most are illiterate. Young Emilio quickly learns to read and write but feels saddened by the mostly difficult stories sent by relatives, that moved north to Denver, Colorado in pursuit of a better future. One day Teo becomes disabled and Emilio takes over the mail route and with great imagination, he changes the letters to happy and optimistic stories. Within days, the village is transformed. The elders, once hopeless, lonely and sad, are now happy and enthusiastic, enjoying the "supposed" success their loved ones write from the United States. But the enjoyment is short lived, as they realize that all the wonderful stories are the same...

Overview

Emilio vive en una pequeña población de Chihuahua, en México. Al ser huérfano, el pequeño Emilio es adoptado por Teo, que trabaja como cartero. Emilio ayuda a Teo en sus labores diarias y conocen a todos los habitantes del lugar. Muchos no saben ni leer ni escribir, y Teo les ayuda a redactar los mensajes y a leerles las respuestas. Pronto Emilio aprenderá todo lo necesario para servirle a Teo de apoyo y ambos se convertirán en la voz y el corazón de la aldea. Sin embargo, un accidente dejará a Teo incapacitado, y Emilio asumirá su función. A partir de ese momento, las gentes de la zona no volverán a recibir cartas amargas: el niño las cambiará por mensajes de esperanza que transformarán a los habitantes en personas más felices. Las historias de sus familiares emigrados a los Estados Unidos, ya no se verán marcadas por la tragedia: ahora, esas personas, alcanzarán el éxito profesional y no se verán afectados por el dolor y el sufrimiento.
