It’s been 20 years since Samid last screened a film for his village. A TV repairman, Samid longs to bring the magic of cinema back to his bucolic town, taking pains to repair a Soviet-era projector. He trawls snowy mountains in search of an internet signal to order a light bulb, humorously demonstrating his tenacity. As he collaborates with 16-year-old cinephile Ayaz, Samid’s journey becomes a personal odyssey of healing for the elderly projectionist.
