Inspiration:

Everyday, we call a customer service line seeking help with our bank accounts, credit cards, and online orders. Halfway around the world a woman picks up the call to help resolve our problems. Little do we know that on the other end of the call the life of the young woman answering the telephone is changing forever. What are the possibilities that arise when a moment of personal development converges with a moment of cultural liberation? Does love have the potential to dissolve social hierarchy and give birth to pleasure?
