Renowned film director Salvatore Di Vita (Jacques Perrin) receives a phone call one night. The message he receives triggers a flood of nostalgic memories, all connected by cinema. It was there, after World War II, that young Totò (Salvatore Cascio) fell head over heels in love with the magic of "moving images." The boy longs for one thing: to befriend projectionist Alfredo (Philippe Noiret). However, this task proves more difficult than he imagines. The titular "Cinema Paradiso"—its incredible and equally idiosyncratic audience and extensive repertoire—will become the backdrop for the unforgettable adventures of the protagonist, who grew up in the Sicilian countryside, his first "great love," until he leaves his hometown.
"Cinema Paradiso" remains to this day the most beautiful "love letter to cinema" ever committed to film. This timeless story about friendship, dreams, growing up and the great fascination with the Tenth Muse has captured the hearts of viewers around the world.
