“Getting there is only half the nightmare”
A small plane sneaks across the Canadian border and drops off a package to a waiting DEA agent. Inside is a million dollars in cash and cocaine, stolen from one of the biggest drug kingpins in the country. A death warrant is issued for whoever gets pinned with its theft. A man, in order to clear up the legal claims against the company he has bought, must travel to a desolate island accessible only by plane. He charters the wrong plane with the wrong pilot to the wrong place. All in all, he embarks on a bad trip.

Hello explores changes in two people’s working lives: a Mexican trash picker who separates and collects recyclable materials from landfills to sell by the kilo, and a German freelance computer-animation designer working for the advertising industry in Berlin. The double interview is controlled and manipulated by a computer-generated severed hand which Maria describes as an object once discovered in the trash while working in the violent northern town of Mexicali. This CGI hand was in turn produced by Max, who was born with no arms, and sought refuge in computer-imaging as a means to operate and manipulate a digital reality.
