Spyros, trying to keep open the video club he inherited from his family, plans to create a cinephile club. Through interrogation rehearsals, imaginary scenes, and movies that bring memories and hopes to life, the two friends confront lies and truth, the allure of escape, and the end of an era of innocence.
