Aber nach einem Unfall in ihrer Straße ist Kiri so weit weg, dass Ayla nur noch in ihrer Birke warten kann und sich danach sehnt, wieder mit Kiri zusammen zu sein. Dann taucht eines Morgens ein geheimnisvolles, altmodisches Telefon auf, mitten in den Ästen von Aylas Birke. Wo kommt es plötzlich her? Und warum tauchen Leute auf, die ihre geliebten Menschen anrufen? Vor allem diejenigen, die bereits verstorben sind. Alles, was Ayla will, ist, dass Kiri nach Hause kommt. Und sie wird auf keinen Fall einen Anruf mit diesem Telefon machen.
