The filmmakers asked the loved ones of a Burmese activist and artist to write him anonymous letters. This documentary is composed from their words.

The brutal military coup of February 1st of 2021 destroyed ten years of fragile democratic transition in the Myanmar, and has killed and imprisoned thousands. The anonymous writers in this film seek inspiration from San Zaw Htway’s all too brief life to deal with the cruelty of this military regime. For he overcame 13 years of prison with wisdom, resilience and grace.
