Sex, love and loneliness over the phone.

A writer on a promotional tour receives a seemingly random call from a total stranger that results in a sexual encounter over the phone. From this bizarre, erotic experience, a strange, meaningful relationship begins to blossom, but where will it end? Based on the autobiographical article What are You Wearing? by author Davy Rothbart, writer/director Kyle Patrick Alvarez delivers a clever, provocative film that tantalisingly keeps you guessing right up until the last dramatic moment.

    I enjoyed this movie very much. More please: does Davey call "Nicole' again? Does he tell Samantha about who "phone sex girl" is? Does he write again soon?

    Really liked this too though was disappointed with ending. Felt it was a bit of a cop out. Also FH 2 was ridiculously hot which made it difficult to concentrate on the film.
