Filmada al estilo de un kammerspielfilm (cine de cámara). Leila es una mujer que, después de haber sido condenada a cadena perpetua, es indultada, y le ofrecen trabajo como ayudante de Jacob, un anciano cura rural ciego. Su trabajo consiste básicamente en responder a las cartas que los fieles le escriben al sacerdote pidiéndole ayuda y consejo. Esta labor que para el cura es vital, a Leila, en cambio, le parece una tarea estéril; en consecuencia, la relación entre ambos personajes es bastante tensa. Pero llega un momento en que Jacob deja de recibir cartas y, entonces, siente que su vida ha perdido todo sentido. Este hecho será el desencadenante de una dramática revelación. Seleccionada por Finlandia como candidada al Oscar 2010 en la categoría de película de habla no inglesa. (FILMAFFINITY)
