A middle‑aged man who uses a wheelchair begins a lonely‑hearts pen‑friend exchange, unaware that his correspondent is his unmarried sister, his caretaker. Their letters deepen; he falls for her gentle voice, and she, recognizing him, discovers a softer side. Tension builds when he asks to meet in person.
