Col / 14'10" / In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
One Christmas Eve, a lonely and curious child decides to impersonate his father to dial the number of a phone sex line that he sees on a newspaper ad. As an unusual conversation takes place, the door opens and in comes the father, thus destroying the festive atmosphere.
Artist’s Statement
Everyone has a hidden desire to call up a phone sex line. This form of comfort is also an exchange. When a child cries, he not only expresses his own sense of loneliness, but also that of the whole city.
