Ein erotisches Remake des Abschlussfilms von Joel Coen "Soundings" als Dreiergeschichte mit Telefonsex und einem Hulahoop-Reifen.
Lana is a phone sex operator. She swings on a hulahoop when taking calls, to make the gasping noises her clients love. Nico doesn't know what Lana does, all he knows is he is madly in love with her. Heidy is Nico's jealous lover. She is certain Lana has put a spell on him.
Director's Statement: Reading the synopsis of "Soundings" inspires me. It's Joel Coen's NYU's thesis short film and I have not seen this short before. I have already seen 9 of the Coen Brothers' films, and I feel that in this short film called "Soundings", you could read their unique oeuvre. I decide to rewrite and remake this short film, "a woman engaged in sex with her deaf boyfriend while verbally fantasizing about having sex with her boyfriend's best friend, who is listening in the next room."
