When you end up suffering of loneliness, with no one to talk to, there may be someone nearby you don't know but who's in the same situation. You never exchange a word and you each go your own way. New technologies have not kept their promise of narrowing the distance between people, no more than they have taken them out of their solitude and isolation. Human nature always yearns for the company of others but often finds itself alone. What binds people together is "alienation." Inner alienation happens when people who live together without really knowing one another suffer from the same impossibility to communicate. The film is set in Alexandria and tells of a group of people who share nothing other than their solitude and isolation.
