Per ardua ad astra

Don, a Canadian air gunner in World War II, lives through distant dreams, homesick memories and visceral fears. Based a collection of letters written to his love overseas from 1943 to 1944, this young man's inner turmoil manifests around him in dreamlike reminiscence and isolation, fighting to stay hopeful for a future.
