Synopsis of the Movie

A famous film director in Rome receives news from his aging mother in a remote Sicilian village that someone he once knew has passed away. A beautiful story unfolds about the man's childhood friendship with an old man, Alfredo, who was the projectionist at the local theater. Their bond was one that contained many highlights and tragedies, and shaped the way for a young boy to grow and move out of his rundown village to pursue a dream. He is also reminded of his lost teenage love, Elena, whom he had to leave for Rome.
