The Phone Call	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Phone Call is a 2013 short film (20 minutes) directed by Mat Kirkby.Heather (Sally Hawkins) starts a shift at her work, namely, a crisis phone center. Not that long after she takes her seat she fields a call from a man named Stanley (Jim Broadbent). For a while it's a struggle to get a weeping Stan to talk, but eventually Heather gets him to tell her that it's the second anniversary of his wife Joan's death from cancer. Stan's comment about how "it's already done" draws Heather's attention, and finally she gets him to reveal what he's already done: he's taken an overdose of pills. Jim doesn't want to be saved, as he tells Heather directly: he wants her to be with him on the phone and talk with him as he goes.
