Burning Patience is based on Antonio Skármeta’s acclaimed book “El cartero de Neruda,“ which was made into the Academy Award-winning foreign film, Il Postino (1994).
In peaceful Isla Negra, Chile, young Mario learns about life and love while delivering the mail to one of the world's greatest poets, Pablo Neruda. When the widow Rosa finds out that her beautiful daughter Beatriz is the object of Mario's affections, a battle ensues for the hearts and minds of the young lovers. In the background of this delightful romantic comedy, storm clouds rumble, as the political unrest of the early 1970s threatens to transform Chile forever.
