Hussein Darby is the aging last projectionist of Cinema Jenin, who tries desperately to prove his worth and get his job back when a German NGO arrives to renovate the old cinema, but his deep passion and experience clash with the new, structured approach, revealing the passing of his era and the challenges of preserving Palestinian culture and identity against external perceptions and changing times.
