Connection

A young woman comes home. Absentmindedly she makes herself a dull toast, her eyes lingering on an old school telephone.
After receiving a call from a marketing agency she sinks deeper into an obsession with the telephone.
This was not the call she has been waiting for.
In increasing surreality and abstraction we are taken on a journey through the inner thoughts of our protagonist.
What even is real, what is imaginary?
What does connection, and the lack of it, mean?
