Lettres d'amour perdues

Tired of the daily life she leads, a young woman decides to leave everything and run away from civilization. When she reaches the heart of an abandoned island that she thought was deserted, she is suddenly disturbed in her flight by the only inhabitant of the place, a strange and young man, entrenched in his memories and his melancholy, who gradually sees in her the incarnation of the love he has never stopped waiting for. Thinking that everything can bring them together, he starts to follow her insistently in the hope, soon admitted, of making himself loved by her. A strange pursuit begins between these two people with passionate feelings, where each of them finally wants to go to the end of their desires.

Directed by Robert Salis, Lettres d'amour perdues leans on a strong ensemble — David Pontremoli, Jane Guirand — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1983.
