A coming-of-age story set in a small theater at the end of the silent film era, where a former movie star clings to the past by screening only silent films.

Zgodba o odraščanju, postavljena v majhno kinodvorano ob koncu obdobja nemega filma, kjer se nekdanja filmska zvezda oklepa preteklosti tako, da predvaja le neme filme.
