A Letter to Eva
When 88-year-old Eva Engel unexpectedly receives a pen pal letter in the post from 11-year-old Gabriel, she is thrilled and intrigued.
Someone is interested in her?
Through conversations during a time when the world was shaken by a global pandemic, Eva shares her incredible childhood story with young Gabriel.
