In Letter to the King, a group of refugees take a day trip from a refugee camp to Oslo each with their own personal agenda. A young man on the verge of deportation visits an old employer to collect an off the books salary, a martial arts expert is looking for work, a young woman haunted by the past is looking for vengeance, and Mirza is busy writing a letter to get his final wish granted, hoping to hand it to the King personally. A group often regarded as homogeneous experiences a multitude of different choices and emotions on this day. They discover happiness, humiliation, love, and revenge, all tied together by Mirza’s fateful letter.
