In a picturesque British village, a young couple inherits an old cinema that has seen better days. The pair, made up of the dreamy and optimistic Matt and his pragmatic wife, is faced with the reality of having to revive the dilapidated venue, which seems more like a refuge of nostalgia than a viable business. The first days at the cinema are a true challenge: the box office is filled with cobwebs, the seats are uncomfortable, and the projector has more ghosts than a horror movie.
As they try to resurrect the cinema, the duo encounters an eccentric cast of characters: the aging projectionist who has spent his whole life in the cinema and has more stories than films, and a couple of film enthusiasts who still believe in the power of celluloid. As the couple struggles against setbacks, we discover that, despite their difficulties, the cinema has its own magical way of bringing people together, reviving the passion for big-screen entertainment.
With charming humor and a nostalgic tone, the film invites us to reflect on the value of dreams, friendship, and cinematic culture in a world that often moves too fast. The story culminates in a heartwarming climax where the small cinema becomes a symbol of hope and community, reminding us that sometimes the smallest things can have the greatest impact.
