Letters of Intent (2010)

When Chas Featherby, a sailor from Hull, dies at a ripe old age, his son Örn Featherby, a playwright and legal translator, finds out from his aunt that he has inherited about two hundred pairs of shoes from his father. At the same time, Örn and his partner, Jon Magnusson, a trained film director who is reduced to working as a librarian, are given an opportunity they have long dreamt of: the half-promise of some funding in the form of a letter of intent from their old school friend, to produce a feature film. The set of events that are set in motion by these two factors are chronicled by Jenny Alexson, Jon’s ex-sister-in-law.
