    • Synopsis
    • Omar is a bricklayer. He lives in a small town and can’t make ends meet. He comes up with an idea and starts building something on the upper part of his house, all by himself. He tells his wife he will rent the place as a store, but in fact what he is building is a cinema. It takes him four years to finish it. He opens the place and uses a rusty 1928 Gaumont projector. It is the first time some of the town kids go to the movies. During ten years, he shows movies without fail. His theater becomes his sacred refuge, a temple of light. But some bad news break up. He gets ill and needs to move houses. It seems everything has come to an end; however, for Omar, it is a new starting point. Where does this small-town movie-fan Quixote gather his strength from?
