Ciao Chérie tells the story of people in a Viennese call shop, of great questions of origin and borders, of the search for closeness and the need for a connection to others. Calls over big distances, remittances to the homeland, the daily routine of the shop - created in a real setting, with laymen and actors, unscripted, improvisational and with pleasure for discovery. It is a film about the possibility of the impossibility of communication between humans and disappointments, hopes and difficulties as a result. A trip around the world in the tone, one space in the image.

Longing to overcome distance, customers come in the telephone cabins of a zany Viennese Call Shop. Like with an umbilical cord, the telephone cable connects them with their loved ones, family and a distant home. The voice becomes an object of projection, but is there a real understanding? Ciao Chérie travels the world sonically while visually, an international cosmos rises up in a single room.
