Dear You

by Tanya Bozhinova

New Bulgarian University, Bulgaria

Synopsis

Unable to find the right words to express his deep love, a man embarks on an extraordinary, surreal journey through his own mind and the body of his beloved. He explores every curve, every movement, every thought that makes her irreplaceable in his eyes.

It is only when the memories of their shared moments flood him and seem to drown him that he finds the inspiration to express his love through a letter, saturated with revelations of deep connection and overwhelming feelings.
