Ciao Chérie

Longing to overcome distance, customers come in the telephone cabins of a zany Viennese Call Shop.
Like with an umbilical cord, the telephone cable connects them with their loved ones, family and a distant home.
The voice becomes an object of projection, but is there a real understanding?
CIAO CHÉRIE travels the world sonically while visually, an international cosmos rises up in a single room.
