Synopsis

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 storytelling.

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