ABOUT THE MOVIE

This is a story about a small community living in a small town in the region of Istria, in the northern Adriatic. This small community lives inside a cinema, where everyone speaks the same language - the language of emotions and mutual understanding. After World War II, the Italian community managed to settle down in the town of Buje, where Leonardo Acuavita built a cinema, which kept the social life of the town alive.
