3 Male 1 Female

In a remote village in Eastern Europe, around 1900, the young Motl Mendl is entranced by the flickering silent images on his father's cinematograph

Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling

Forty years on, Motl - now a famed American film director - looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams

How had a twenty-two-year-old pretentious layabout made a discovery that would elude every other cinematic pioneer for years to come?

A funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood's golden age
