Tagline

Amid a global pandemic, an entrepreneur looks back on his life's work owning and operating an idiosyncratic cinema in the forest of northern Ontario.

Synopsis

What does a man do who has dedicated over 70 years of his life to live in the world of movies when that whole world suddenly shuts down? When film productions stop and cinemas are closing. In this new restricted world of his, he spends his time going through his rich film archive and calls directors and actors around the whole world: Isabella Rossellini, John Sayles, Oliver Assayas and many more. A film about the film's ability to travel into other worlds and give us the strength to endure our own difficult existence.
