basically a letter mailed in 1943 by a janapese soldier from burma, finally reaches its destination after being in the possession of a world war 2 vet who found the letter while fighting and taking it back to america with him.

if you're interested in films related to this period in history, I saw a pretty good one called the "Bermese Harp".

I may have to check it out. I absolutely love world war II movies. Especially foreign ones that tell a different side of the story as opposed to the American recollection of it. Right now letters from Iwo Jima is one of my favorites.
