I'm trying to identify this short film I watched a while ago. Here's what I remember;
- I watched it on YouTube around 2012/2013 (it was very professionally done, and won a few awards)
- It was live action and in colour
- The plot consisted of an old man sending postcards to random addresses around the world and see how long it took for them to return / see if he got any replies
- Every day he would wait for the postman to arrive
- It was based around the ending of a war (world war 2 / cold war - I can't remember specifically)
- From what I remember, it wasn't based in the United States (this could be wrong)
- In the end, the man got taken away by the army for "being a spy" due to the amount of postcards he sent (or a factor of the postcards)
- The man died in a plane crash after being taken away by the army
I hope this is enough information for you guys, if not, I'll try and remember some more.

I found your short: It's Envelope from 2012 with Kevin Spacey.
Evgeniy started writing fake letters since he was 6 when he tried writing one to his imaginary friend. Throughout his lifetime, he has accumulated a letter from every country, except New Zealand. He writes a letter to a seemingly fake person in a seemingly fake city in New Zealand. After 4 weeks, he receives a letter back from the fake person stating that Evgeniy and the person have in fact met in real life. A lieutenant comes and searches his house to find a secret code hidden among the envelopes. Evgeniy is shocked and the lieutenant travels with him to board a plane later on. While Evgeniy and the lieutenant are traveling, Tanya (Evgeniy's wife) finds a letter in which the person from New Zealand proves to be true and states that Evgeniy will die in a plane.
It was based on a true story. Here it is in its entirety:

Answer 2
Sounds similar to The Letter writer. But your description is so vague it may be something else. This was a short 12 minute film in 2012 LDS film festival. Hope you find what you are looking for
