Between Us

With the Letter in the Mail…

Pirkko, in her final year of high school, answers a request to teach English to Antti, a seminary student in Finland, and they embark on a pen pal relationship. She visits her relatives for the summer and attends a conference where they meet.

In Canada, Pirkko works as a part-time waitress where young men flirt with the girls. After several failed attempts at dating, she decides that single life is her destiny. She moves away from home to university in search of purpose, but she can’t get her pen pal off her mind.

Nothing else matters to Antti besides following God’s guidance, but he’s intrigued by the girl behind the letters. His focus on God keeps him unattached. He’s even sworn off dating until his graduation year.

They share faith, but not life goals, and become soulmates. She wonders whether to stop writing. Two years later, Antti arrives to work as a summer intern at her church in Canada. Instant attraction consumes Pirkko, and she makes a shocking declaration that could jeopardize her chance at love.

Can they have a future together despite the obstacles and ocean between them?
