SYNOPSIS

After every personal loss, a girl finds comfort in the dark halls of the same old cinema — a ritual that spans from childhood to adulthood. As her story unfolds through fragmented memories captured on MiniDV and digital footage, the film simultaneously explores the forgotten history of the theater she escapes to. Slowly, the lines between the girl and the cinema blur — until both stories collide in a tragic fire. A hybrid reflection on memory, film, and the spaces that hold our stories.
