A security guard from the islands, a magic seashell, a pink bicycle, a teacher mad in love, an old man gazelle horns lover, Emile's universe is full of fantasies. Yet, the little boy lives with the painful memory of what he calls "the notorious night", the one that built up to his dad leaving. Since then, he awaits a sign or a message from him. He leaves letterboxes in judiciously chosen places. Hoping that one day he'll find a note. But they always slip away to live their letterbox lives and be helpful to others and hold improbable surprises for the young boy. One day, finally, a message arrives.
