The 17-minute film opens with Sarah undertaking her job, before searching for her lost dog. Tony (the dog) has been missing for a year, but Sarah hasn’t given up hope for discovery. The film then cuts to Jonah, a suicidal man clutching a toaster after running a bath. Jonah, who is overcome with grief after the death of his partner, calls a sex hotline to reach out for help – he connects with Sarah. Their immediate connection brings a purpose to their otherwise dark existence. Awkward, yet hilarious, scenes follow.
