Pelu is a thirty-something barely scraping by on his salary as a projectionist at a film theater that belongs to the city hall. After losing his job, he agrees to stay on as the night watchman and ends up secretly living inside the cinema, surrounded by the films he previews every night. Growing more comfortable in his new home, he begins to form a small community that inhabits the cinema after hours: a group of three homeless parking attendants and Vale, a former friend he allows to record videos for her OnlyFans channel inside the screening room. But the precarious economic conditions they live under are part of a broader crisis that threatens to shut down the cinema and jeopardize their fragile community
