Simon Cinéma is an old man who lives alone in a castle museum

filmmaker, he is convinced that he is the last word on cinema. As
he approaches his one hundredth birthday, Monsieur Cinéma becomes

Camille, to help keep the recollections of his glorious past
alive. For Camille, this is a God-sent opportunity to realise her
ambition, which is to make her first film...
