Synopsis: A lonely woman onstage and a phone that rings. On the other end of the line is her former lover, who is about to marry someone else. All hopes rest on the chance of a final conversation. The simple gesture of picking up opens the gateway to all the hopes and shared memories, all the regrets and fears encompassed in this acutely accurate exploration of heartbreak.For this role, Oana Pellea was nominated by the Romanian Association of Theatre Artists for Best Actress Award in 2011.
