Mario is the son of a fisherman. He doesn't like the sea, but he became a postman, specializing in sending letters on the island. The island is home to the Chilean poet Neruda and his wife. Neruda was exiled here, and he was very talented at writing poetry. Mario sent and received many letters from Neruda every day. In frequent contacts, Mario became more and more admired for this poet. He was keen to discuss poetry with Neruda and study poetry. When he fell in love with the beautiful girl on the island, Mario often confided his thoughts to Neruda, and eventually moved the girl's heart with poetry, and the two became married. Until Neruda left the island, Mario still held on to his love of poetry. He continued to write poetry and was about to read it at a workers' meeting when unexpected disaster occurred.
