DEAR STRANGER
Desperate for change after death and loss, Hazel, 40, a biracial-Jewish woman impulsively throws herself into a project of travel and letter writing. She converts a 1970’s camper van for her 2000 mile journey from Washington State to Oaxaca, Mexico. Along the road she writes 100 handwritten letters, posing the question “what is love?” like a personal ad to the universe. Hazel leaves letters anonymously to be discovered by strangers, attaching only a photo and a PO box address to write back.
