35mm, Original Spanish Language
This is one of those movies that all the film libraries in the world should schedule at one time or another on their screens. Such a declaration of love emanates from this story that screening it, seeing it for the first time and rediscovering it on the big screen and in 35mm format is a tribute to all those who, in one way or another, “do films”: spectators, cinemagoers, schedulers, ticket dispatchers, filmmakers and anyone who, at some time in their life, has felt that going to the cinema to see a film could change their being.
Jorge lives with his parents and has worked in the Uruguayan Cinematheque for 25 years. He schedules and screens films, greets the audience, hosts a radio piece and answers all types of questions related with the cinema… until the cinematheque goes bankrupt and Jorge is left unemployed. But, it will be precisely the cinema that allows him to survive and adapt to the new world that awaits him.
