Three strangers, on the verge of breaking up, meet in a phone box. As their intimate stories of love and violence unfold, the magic of chance weaves unexpected bonds between them. Lou, Had and Tadz don't know each other, but without realising it they are on a journey towards each other. Each in search of a lost love, their destinies will intersect as if by magic around the telephone box that serves as their refuge. This intimate, musical eulogy of fragility invites us to take a different look at those we sideline, questions the little failures of life, and makes us believe in the fascinating power of chance.
