Two brothers wait for their father to come back from the front. When they saw the effect that black letters which were then called death notices had on the recipients they talked the postman into hiding those letters until the end of the war.
Yana lives in northern town, works at the post office, collects stamps and waits for her father from the sea, but she doesn't even hope for his coming home. One day sailor Petr comes to the post office, and it changes Yana's life.
