While Elio and his mom can’t complete their conversation, his call somehow seems to identify himself to the aliens, and he is quickly sucked into a tessellated space entity that transports him to a meeting of the “United Advanced Species of the Universe.”
The alien organization believes Elio to be the leader of Earth, and though he initially tells him he’s not, he decides to step into the role when they threaten to remove his memory — after which he learns his planet is on some sort of trial.
In the movie, Elio “finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide,” as an official synopsis for the movie from Pixar states.
