Synopsis

What happens when you long for something? When you long for something so much that you over flow with feelings? You write a letter, of course. You put all your feelings on paper, roll the paper up, put it in an empty bottle and let it go, hoping that it will reach the address. And when it will, it's the best feeling in the world.
A book about longing, overcoming obstacles and love for the sea. A book where the text and the pictures flow like a river itself. There is a bit of river in all of us as we all long for something. The question is do we dare to go for it?

"A beautiful book where the sensitive illustration supports the scarce and poetic story of the lake who pines for the sea. From that pining a poem is born that plays on the heartstrings of everyone who is lucky enough to hear it. Words do have power, that book is a statement to that."
