Overview
In the year 1999, a young woman leaves her quaint seaside house and returns to the city, leaving in the mailbox a card for the next owner, with instructions to forward any mail of hers to the new address. In the year 1997, a jaded young architect moves into the same house and finds the letter. His reply, which he slips into the mailbox, finds its way to her, beginning a parallel-time love story separated by a span of two years.

Alunauwie
Il Mare presents a beautifully crafted time-travel romance that balances emotional depth with a clever narrative structure, successfully connecting two souls across different years through a mysterious mailbox. While the film handles its time-loop logic with surprising clarity—especially in showing cause and effect between timelines—it does leave a few unanswered questions, particularly regarding character placements in the altered future. Strong visuals, fitting music, and touching performances support its melancholic tone, making it a memorable watch for fans of subtle, fictional romantic dramas.
