(Can You See Me? is the story of Doren and Sarah Solomon, ...)
Can You See Me? is the story of Doren and Sarah Solomon, a brother and sister so close they share a secret place, imaginary world, and private language during childhood. While Sarah eventually grows up and relinquishes their private haven, for Doren, it becomes a way of life he never surrenders. Sarah struggles to help Doren, even to save him, without truly understanding the consequences. Told in the voices of Sarah and Doren, Can You See Me? is a powerful psychodrama portraying schizophrenia from the inside-out.
