Deeply shaken, Eka isolates herself when her aunt, who often calls her for one-way chats via voicemail, commits suicide abroad. Niko builds an AI ‘friend’ immersing himself in his apartment. These two worlds touch briefly, only to pull apart into self-imposed loneliness…and the city flows endlessly just outside their windows, breathing life into existence.

Director’s note: The relationship among humans as well as the relationship of humans with the external world is whole and unified, encompassing both pain and joy, and we must face it. Isolation beyond dividing lines is not a solution, as everything and everyone is interconnected. The film includes diverse components (a hybrid) where documentary material is integrated into a fictional form. While working on the film, for me as the director, the most interesting and main challenge was how to weave all these components into a single cohesive fabric of the film.
