"The Human Voice" is an opera film based on Francis Poulenc’s mono-opera. After a breakup, Elle anxiously awaits a call from her ex. When the phone finally rings, their fragmented conversation unfolds through surreal imagery and shifting music. Her ex’s words remain unheard, suggested only through her reactions. The phone becomes both a lifeline and a gallows rope, blurring the line between hope and despair as Elle spirals through the pain of separation.
