A sweltering July evening on a Manhattan balcony. A cast-iron flowerpot shatters the chair Richard Sherman had been sitting in just seconds before. His upstairs neighbor has accidentally knocked over her tomato plant. This incident, which could have been fatal for Richard, turns out to be the best thing that could have happened to him.

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.
