A lonely private investigator is contacted by a mysterious woman who pulls him into a mind game known as 'telephone walking'. As he is drawn deeper and deeper, falling in love with her voice, the woman opens up a new universe that may allow him to break out of his isolation and into the real world.
Nölle's greatest achievement is to keep the magic realist realm firmly anchored to the real so that reality feels touched by imagination rather than smothered by it.
As a first go, Aloys showcases Nölle's superior technical abilities, but the script stammers to an end that only a director who also wrote the film could create.
Director Tobias Nolle's first full-length film is a tense, dark thriller that delves into contemporary issues of digital isolation, technology, surveillance and privacy.
