Is Anybody There? - there's a touch of magic at play here, but of the understated variety that delivers an unexpectedly hopeful, moving and emotionally satisfying finale. (Bruce de Mara, Toronto Star)

A bittersweet story about an extraordinary friendship in which Michael Caine shines as retired wizard Clarence: 10-year-old Edward hates the dreary life in his parents' retirement home and takes refuge in his obsession with ghosts and the afterlife. Everything changes for him when Clarence, an unconventional and anarchistic magician, moves into the home. This unlikely duo quickly bond and together they manage to overcome their inner demons.
