Set in a seaside English town circa 1987, Is Anybody There? charts the unlikely friendship that develops between a retired magician (Michael Caine) who
reluctantly enters a family-run old age home and the death-obsessed young son (Bill Milner) of the home's overwhelmed owners.
Is Anybody There? tells a charming story about growing up and growing old, and the unpredictable adventures that happen along the way.
Superb acting by Michael Caine and Billy Milner (only his second film after Son of Rambow) and supported by Anne Marie Duff (James McAvoy's wife) and a number of veteran British actors. A sensitive story about two troubled souls a lifetime apart in age who help each other heal and move on.
