I WANT THIS ONE
Set in a sleepy British seaside town in the 1980s, Is Anybody There? tells the story of a morbid, bookish 10-year-old boy whose parents have turned their house into a retirement home.
While his mother (Anne-Marie Duff) struggles to keep the business afloat and his father (David Morrissey) copes with the onset of a mid-life crisis, Edward (Bill Milner) becomes increasingly obsessed with the afterlives of the home’s elderly residents, following them around with a tape-recorder to capture the sound of the soul as it escapes the mortal coil…
But Edward’s macabre turn of mind is distracted by the arrival of “The Amazing” Clarence (Michael Caine), an anarchic retired magician and grieving widower who is determined to age disgracefully.
As an unlikely friendship blossoms between them, the old man comes to terms with his past, the child masters his fear of the future, and both learn to seize the day. An uplifting tale featuring Michael Caine in his most honest and powerful role yet and confirming Bill Milner’s status as a major new talent.
