After losing her phone on the way to a job interview, a young girl struggles with an oblivious London public and her own unhelpful thoughts to get where she needs to be
On the way to the most important job interview of her life, a young woman, Ella, is almost hit by a cyclist, causing her to drop her phone down a drain. After having lost her only means of navigation she must find her own way to the office using only her vague memories of the area and any help she can get from an apathetic London public. When all else fails, she convinces a stranger to unlock his phone, immediately snatching it and running away, to even her own surprise. Ella makes it to the interview with little time to spare, but the stress of the situation and her building guilt as the adrenaline wears off leaves her unable to get a clear sentence out. She excuses herself to recollect and plan her next move, thinking through a number of options before rediscovering her confidence and heading back inside to ace the interview.
