Aloys Page #3

Synopsis: Aloys Adorn is a middle aged private detective who lives and works with his father. He experiences life from a safe distance, through a video camera he keeps recording 24 hours a day, and the massive collection of surveillance tapes he organizes and obsessively watches at home. But when his father dies, Aloys is left on his own and his sheltered existence begins to fall apart. After a night of heavy drinking, Aloys wakes up on a public bus to find that his camera and precious observation tapes have been stolen. Soon after, a mysterious woman calls to blackmail him. She offers to return the tapes if Aloys will try an obscure Japanese invention called 'telephone walking' with her, using his imagination as their only connection. As he is drawn deeper and deeper, falling in love with the voice on the other end of the phone, the woman opens up a new universe that may allow Aloys to break out of his isolation and into the real world.

No, Aloys, you can't.

Do you know why?

Because you don't have a life

that could be taken away.

Aloys?

Hello?

We have guests at the moment.

We thank you.

Do you know what?

That party outside,

where I'm not invited...

I don't want to be invited.

It's not worth it.

I've been observing it

for long enough.

Every party

must come to an end,

and left behind...

are lonely people,

who then go to the next party.

And to the next one.

Each time a bit lonelier.

I'd rather stay here.

We don't need this bed anymore.

Well, he doesn't.

Yes...

C'est la vie,

as he used to say.

Everything still works.

Fully functional.

Yes.

And a good day to you too.

Hello?

We should go for a walk...

...but without the phone.

You don't want to.

What do you mean?

You don't want to see me.

But I do see you.

Aloys?

Aloys, are you there?

Aloys, I know you're there.

Vera?

Aloys?

- Vera?

- I need to go back to the clinic.

I'm leaving.

Vera?

Vera?

Vera!

Vera!

Please leave a message

after the tone.

That's not polite.

You should leave a message.

Every party comes to an end,

and left behind

are lonely people.

Lonely people.

I'm sorry.

Good night, young man.

Where's room 402?

Good morning.
