Synopsis:

An offbeat story of love and lost letters.

In the Dead Letter Office sit thousands of fading dreams correspondence dislocated from destination. It is here that Alice (Miranda Otto), vulnerable and impetuous, starts a search for her long-absent father. Getting a job here is her last ditch effort to find her father. But first she finds Frank (George Del Hoyo), the head of this forgotten corner of a careless world. Their paths have crossed for a reason; they both know so much about the importance of dreams and destinations. The Dead Letter Office, a funny place to find love.
-
John Ruane directed this Australian romantic comedy in which lonely Alice (Miranda Otto), seeking her long-lost father, begins working in the same dead-letter office that keeps returning her letters to him. The office is run by a political refugee from Chile, Frank (George DelHoyo), and Alice and Frank eventually become a twosome amid the undelivered mail. Barry Otto, Miranda Otto's father, makes a brief appearance. Shown at 1998 film festivals in Brisbane and Melbourne.
