    This bromance might not be the typical pen pal mov This bromance might not be the typical pen pal movie, but it's still too touching to miss. ✨

It is about a deep and surprising friendship between an aristocratic, quadriplegic Frenchman and his young, seemingly under qualified live-in carer. While it is wonderful to see this friendship evolving, it is just as thrilling to follow the purely epistolary relationship between Philippe and a woman called Eléonore from Dunkirk.

If you don't know the movie yet, you shouldn't miss out. It's one of the few masterpieces that brings you to cry and laugh at the same time.

@xovictoriawhite  shared with us her first postcards she sent through PenPal to South Korea. She uses PenPal to really learn about other countries and cultures, and is especially able to pursue her love of Korea. If you look closely, you can see that she even wrote in Korean! 💪

Stay tuned for more PenPal stories from @xovictoriawhite to be revealed in the coming days. Thanks so much for sharing!
