Two girls are in permanent contact with each other through an electronic answering machine. Without any visual contact or prior knowledge they begin to sound out each other through questions and fantasy images. Slowly, without giving it further thought, their curiosity evolves into a meticulous role play. The camera keeps after one of the girls and it witnesses an unravelling game of manipulation and sexual tension. Tinges, the sensation of the unknown are tightened into an understanding bond; manipulator and victim grow closer to one another.
