(a letter from Ruth to Emil)

-10‘000 letters for you- part II Is about a fictional one sided boundless love and a fictional love story between Ruth and Emil. Ruth writes „letters“ like a „diary“ to Emil, this chapter don‘t have to be read chronologically even on some „letters“ is a date. Ruth and Emil have been once together but broke up, Emil is now in a new Relationship with Trudy. It‘s about passion, obsession, rejection, hope, trust, friendship, love, boundaries, respect and freedom. a story about chances we take, chances we miss and the limited time on earth.

Who still loves who, i want to leave up to the viewer.

The last Letter is from Trudy to Ruth, where she writes that Emil died.

The names of the Protagonists Ruth, Emil an Trudy are inspired by a real letter from the 6th december 1992 that i found in a note paper box that i bought at a secondhand shop.

Some of the letters have been created with help from music.
