Valentin is a projectionist. For 44 years he has been working in one of the oldest movie theaters in Kyiv city center. Maidan and all political events remain behind the scenes. His whole life is concentrated in the projection booth. Before, during or after a movie. Drinking with a war veteran, dancing with girls from casting agency next door, cutting his 75-year-old partner's hair, etc. Circulation of festivals and events must end at some point. Fire in the cinema is a reason to kick him out of work. This is his last year before retirement and year after.
