“A suburban woman goes to increasingly desperate lengths to appease the will of the gods.”
The woman wonders what her neighbors are doing to deserve so many gifts from the gods. Stone blessings pile up on their altar while the woman receives so few. She has offered those same gods her food, time, and love. What more do they want? Do they want sex? Or something more? Perhaps a bit of flesh?

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.
