Call Back in an Hour

Synopsis

Borrowing the speech bubble aesthetics of a comic book, a fresh take on the female assassin story.
Kora is a deadly but also lonely hit-woman, living in London. By day, she plays the Cello and teaches kids how to play music. By night, she eliminates targets, following instructions from her handler - Andre - a voice on the other end of a telephone. Kora is looking for a way to change her life when a violent coincidence presents itself. A local underworld mobster who has heard the tale of the mortally dangerous woman gets hold of Andre’s phone number, and manages to set a trap for Kora. It’s a nasty surprise but it's a chance to get out, and she takes it.
