Screenings: Tender Loving Care

A film about connection in the literal and metaphorical sense – daily interactions chart the sense of loneliness and concerns of one individual. A single woman in her 30s living in London, struggles with feelings of isolation and decides to call up various customer care lines in search of connection. She pushes the boundaries of the people she speaks to, with varying results. She seeks dating advice from her bank, talks about films with her doctor, and bonds with her Internet provider over the topic of reincarnation. Call centers become a backdrop for conversations about the meaning of life and big city loneliness.
