Marcel is an adorable one-inch-tall shell who ekes out a colorful existence with his grandmother Connie and their pet lint, Alan. Once part of a sprawling community of shells, they now live alone as the sole survivors of a mysterious tragedy. When a documentarian discovers them amongst the clutter of his Airbnb, his resulting short film brings Marcel millions of passionate fans, as well as unprecedented dangers and a new hope at finding his long-lost family.

Inspired by true events, this is the story of Gwendolyn Green, an aging widow who spends her days in solitude inside a fenced-in Palm Springs residence, as if trapped in another era. When her lack of social skills and isolation begin to suffocate her, she picks up the phone and calls 911 in search of human connection. Gwendolyn forms a special bond with the officer who answers, and finds in him the care and connection to the modern world that she craves.
