Charlotte is used to conversations about death by now. But a very familiar voice has reached the crisis helpline this time. It belongs to her ex-girlfriend Lucile who needs an advice on how to best commit suicide. But Lucile couldn’t have known that an anonymous phone call will turn into a relationship through which Charlotte will try to persuade her there’s still something to live for.
