Shot in a b&w monochrome, real-life film critic Jorge Jellinek plays Jorge, a middle-aged bachelor who lives with his elderly father and works as the manager of a cinemtheque in Montevideo, Uruguay. Cinema has been his passion for many years, but when the theater's existence is threatened by decreased attendance, Jorge's life is upturned. A short fiction film described as a tribute to the soul of cinema, praised by Cahiers du Cinéma, and even inviting a comparison to Wim Wenders' recent "Perfect Days" in The Guardian. Directed by Federico Veiroj.

NR, 64 min., 2010. Closed captions (CC) in English.
