Mary is a 7-year-old girl living in a small mountain village in Australia, with a dad who sews tea bags and a mum who drinks sherry all day. Similar to children in general problem families, she is inferior, lonely, innocent, wants to have friends, likes "Noblet Family" dolls, fantasizes about marrying a man named Earl Grey, and simply believes that the child was found from the bottom of a beer mug. She found the address of Max in New York in the address book—a 44-year-old man who, like her, was inferior, lonely, innocent, longing for friends, and liked "Noblet Family" dolls. They became pen pals, and Mary was given a chance to confide in him, and how important it was for a little girl who lacked friends! In the same way, Marx was also deeply moved by this girl. He sat in front of the typewriter and wrote long letters one after another. Mary was changed by the friendship he gave, and his own life was also subtly changed. changes in. Twenty years later, the friendship between the two has continued. Although there were misunderstandings, puzzles, and anger, it finally ended with the death of Marx and the letter that filled the ceiling. Seeing this, I believe Most of the audience will be moved by it.

Mary and Max quotes

  • Young Mary: [about Len Hislop] He's scared of outside, which is a disease called homophobia.

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: Unfortunately, in America, babies are not found in cola cans. I asked my mother when I was four, and she said they came from eggs laid by rabbis. If you aren't Jewish, they're laid by Catholic nuns. If you're an atheist, they're laid by dirty, lonely prostitutes.
