# Letter Never Sent (1960)

It was entered into the 1960 Cannes Film Festival, but was withdrawn just before the screening on 17 May; according to the Soviet representatives, the film was "unfinished". The film was shot in black-and-white with a 4:3 aspect ratio and monaural sound.

As they face the challenges of nature, including a devastating forest fire, personal tensions arise, leading to tragedy and survival struggles among the group.
