69 years old at the time the film was shot, Alan has autism and has never spoken. The film was made while he was quarantined with Covid, his sister wondering whether he even understands the concept of a telephone, or if he’ll know that it’s his sister on the other end of the line, and how she can find a way to reassure him while he’s isolated, miles away.
