A tender exchange of letters unfolds between an elementary school child and an officer on the battlefield. One handwritten letter after another gives each of them the courage to keep moving forward.
Benny Bronte is a quiet, slender boy who is often the target of pranks and bullying at school. On the front lines is Corporal Thomas, a calm and composed officer, leads his soldiers with stoic resolve. Benny is withdrawn and unhappy; Corporal Thomas, meanwhile, bears a weathered appearance and a gentle heart.
When Benny’s class is selected to join a Letters of Care correspondence program, he begins writing to the battlefield and is paired with Thomas. Through their exchange of letters, the two—separated by age, experience, and distance—become sources of strength and support for one another. But as the war grows ever more brutal, how will this unseen friendship between two people who have never met, yet rely so deeply on each other, begin to change?
