After the Iranian Revolution, a tenacious film collector in Tehran becomes an unlikely hero when he takes on the courageous mission of protecting thousands of films from the clutches of the new regime. Despite facing the dark shadow of imprisonment and torture, he steadfastly guards his precious secret – a story of resistance and obsession, retold through the eyes of the boy who was by his side. Years later, in exile in London, his extraordinary story unfolds on screen.
