LLIE (30 s) lives with her goldfish, Kitten. She avoids verbal communication, for at an early age she began to hear an ECHO of what she perceives to be the thoughts of the speaker. Scarred and reclusive, she never leaves home and survives thanks to PENNY (60's), her landlady. PENNY lives in the next door apartment. Every month ELLIE slips the rent under her door, while PENNY leaves a container with food on ELLIE'S doorstep, everyday. Their communication is nonverbal: PENNY rings thrice to denote here presence, while ELLIE leaves her notes under the door. MANU (40's) moves into the apartment across ELLIE's hall, his presence intrigues her. Their everyday lives and habits are parallel. MANU'S lifestyle ignites a change in ELLIE; she starts cooking, cleaning her house and taking care of herself. She still gives shopping lists to PENNY, but she stops eating her pre-made meals.
