Is Anybody There? Set in a seaside English town circa 1987,
Is Anybody There? charts the unlikely friendship that develops between Caine’s proud, acerbic old performer and the death-obsessed young son (played by Bill Milner) of the home’s overwhelmed owners. Written by Peter Harness, who draws from his own experience growing up in a retirement home,

Is Anybody There? tells a charming story about growing up and growing old, and the unpredictable adventures that happen along the way.
