Drawing on personal experiences, de la Riva follows an itinerant

movie projectionist who travels along the mountain back-roads in

a battered truck, showing classic movies to lumberjacks off the

tailgate. Camping, sleeping on old film posters in cheap hotels,

Francisco's life is rootless. A younger vagabond becomes his helper,

then a pretty young woman becomes their companion. Along with a

backwoods carpenter, the two young people help Francisco attempt

to realize an elusive dreamâ??to settle in his hometown, build his own

theatre and show his cherished movies.
