Producer-director Theo van Gogh's uncommonly frank exploration of sexual alienation probes the emotional possibilities of erotic phone lines.
A pair of lonely-hearts "find" each other via a 900 number. Through this technology, they commence once-a-week dates that run the gamut from comic and sexy to restless and ominous.
Though their interest in one another increases, they are unable to meet. Neither one even knows the other's name. However, each wants desperately to have a real attachment to the phantom partner.
Will they can connect, or will they only remain telephone voices?
