The film tells the story of the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda and his young wife Mathilde, exiled to a small island in southern Italy in 1948. Unemployed youth Mario, the son of a fisherman, doesn't like the sea, and reluctantly takes on the job of delivering mail to the island at the local post office. In reality, he was merely sending a large amount of correspondence to poets. As for the poet Neruda, at first, the young Mario had only read his poem "Ordinary Songs". Mario developed a friendship with the poet as he constantly asked the poet to explain his poetic art.
