Product Overview

Dear Birthday Girl,
Close your eyes. Make a wish. Can you remember what your thirty-five wishes have been? I cannot grant you thirty-five wishes but I can give you thirty-five letters. A letter for every year.

In the year before her death, young Melbourne writer Angelique Flowers wrote thirty-five letters to her sister Michelle to celebrate Michelle's thirty-fifth birthday.

If I cannot turn these words to feathers, I shall reach you with a different magic, for I can make words fly.

Seen through the eyes of Angelique, Michelle and their brother Damian, 35 Letters is a film about conscience, family and breaking the law.
