The film tells the story of a family cinema that closed on 30 November 2021, after 69 years of activity. It was 20 September 1952 when the Cinema Astra in Trento officially began its activities, after having hosted the first edition of the International Mountain Film Festival. It is not simply the story of a cinema, but rather recounts the life a whole family, at the same time reflecting a city and society undergoing continuous transformation.
