A delicate metaphor on poetry, love, politics... in a small island in Southern Italy where Chilean poet Pablo Neruda was in exile in the Fifties. A simple man, a postman, gets to know the great man. Which of the two will be greater in the end? A simple story, but it makes you smile and think. The shooting of the movie was completed only a few hours before Massimo Troisi's death.
