An elderly woman in her apartment has not spoken to another person in four days. Her husband died two years ago, her children live far away, her friends have moved or passed. She watches television to hear human voices but the one-way communication only emphasizes her isolation. She is not depressed, she insists, just alone. A young man in a new city works remotely from his apartment, his interactions limited to video calls and chat messages. He knows people online but has no one to have coffee with, no one who would notice if he disappeared.
