In 1934 Indian aerospace engineer Stephen Smith launched the first of 270 attempts at transporting mail by rocket. The vessel exploded and 143 letters were scattered on the shores of Saugor Island. 140 letters were salvaged, but three were lost. Drawing on epistolary narratives set at the border between India and China, Three Missing Letters is an experimental film that speculates on the contents of these lost letters.
