It is Aleksandras’, a man in his 30s, first day at his new workplace. What appears to be a mundane office space reveals to be a suicide helpline center once the phone rings and Pijus, a man exactly his age, calls to share his desire to take his life. What begins as an awkward interaction becomes a moving exchange between two men who think that they are strangers to then realise their interconnected destinies, which leads to both protagonists finding forgiveness, peace, and hope.
