For children
Imagine the gates to another world just opened. However, it is not a world with spaceships, but a world where everything was dealt with slowly and with a great deal of magic. You don't have a smartphone in your hand, you don't have Internet, and you don't have any quick messages on WhatsApp. If you want to say something important to a friend who lives in a distant city, you must pay tribute to paper and lip. You have to write a letter. The letter must pass through the mountains, pass through the woods and finally return to its destination.
