Berlin, 1949. Actor Klaus Kinski in his famous and scandalous rendition of the female role in Jean Cocteau's one-act play La Voix Humaine. A monologue – a woman is on the phone with her lover who has left her. She eventually strangles herself with the phone cord. Kinski himself directed the play that was originally intended to be performed in the theater, but was banned by the Berlin military government, so it could only be performed privately.
