Script
Carta al Rey retrata a cinco personas con diferentes orígenes en una excursión a un centro de refugiados en Oslo, un cambio bienvenido en sus vidas diarias que transcurren de modo monótona. Cada uno con su propia historia y agenda llegan a la ciudad capital de un país que parece ofrecer todo lo que ellos esperaban. Cada uno explora sus posibilidades, un amor secreto, una nueva vida, una mentira piadosa, cumpliendo un sueño y vengar la muerte de un esposo. Sus historias están unidas entre sí por una carta escrita por Mirza de 83 años que desea entregar al rey de Noruega.

Kurdish refugee, Renas, is living in the very north of Norway. In a remote desolate house. In the middle of snowy nowhere. But soon his special princess, Fermesk, will be joining him. Though the couple has never met, they have already fallen in love from looking at each other's photographs and talking on the phone. Their families have performed a wedding ceremony back home in Iraq, and Fermesk is put on a plane. The first encounter at the airport does not live up to their expectations, however. Neither looks very much like their flattering photos would indicate. Fermesk is now a much bigger woman, and Renas isn't quite the handsome young man anymore.
