A young postman, Mehdi, racing to support his family, discovers that his most important delivery is not a parcel, but human connection.
Mehdi, 20, works as a postman in Sarcelles, a suburb north of Paris. To fund his younger brother Billel’s studies, the family’s great hope, he combines his postal round with an afternoon job delivering pizzas, rushing through his days and leaving missed delivery slips without ever ringing a doorbell. Everything changes when he accidentally knocks over Mr Pinson, a lonely retired man who sends parcels to himself just to have company. Moved by his situation, Mehdi decides to help him reconnect with his estranged daughters, as if mending a stranger’s family could somehow help save his own.
Billel, ashamed of his background, has been inventing a fictional brother for his prep school friends: brilliant, successful, everything Mehdi could have been had he not sacrificed it all. When Mehdi finds out, the brothers come face to face at the Gare du Nord, and the rift between them becomes unavoidable. Caught between brothers torn apart by love and pride, and an old man pushed away by that same pride, ‘Mehdi: Delivery Notice’ is a feel-good dramatic comedy about what being a postman truly means: an essential, often invisible human connection between people and the world. By learning to slow down, Mehdi restores that connection to those who need it most.
