Jean, an unmarried, cell-phoneless, Holocaust Museum ticket saleswoman sits quietly in a cafe, sipping her soup. After trying to ignore the constant ringing of another customer’s cell phone, Jean springs up to ask why he won’t answer, only to discover he is, as the title suggests, dead.

So, what does Jean do? Answer the phone.

And she keeps answering it, until she tunnels herself into the dead man’s life. From claiming to be his business partner, to being mistaken for his mistress, to falling in love with the dead man’s brother, Jean discovers the joy within human connection. But, what happens when the phone stops ringing for good? What is ultimately lost, and more importantly, what is gained? Watch how these humorous, yet inexplicably honest characters tackle the paradox between mortality and the need to stay connected in a constantly changing, rapidly expanding world.
