Film Synopsis

Despite his best efforts, Jordan, the owner of the cinema Le Splendor, has no choice but to shut up shop and close the cinema. His young projectionist Luigi and cashier Chantal are not so defeatist; determined they can save the cinema, they set about trying to stimulate interest in moviegoing.
