A filmmaker recalls his childhood, when he fell in love with the movies at his village's theater and formed a deep friendship with the theater's projectionist.

What a job this film is. It first honors the people that love cinema, and then it honors cinema itself. Because it is an immersive experience, it is kind of hard to say that much about it.
