About

The Academy Award-winning coming-of-age tale Cinema Paradiso follows a precocious young boy named Salvatore (nicknamed 'Toto') as he wheedles his way into the projection booth of the much-beloved 'Nuovo Cinema Paradiso', igniting a lifelong love of cinema.

Over the years, Salvatore navigates his rites of passage into manhood, with the cinema’s newsreels and movies acting as a window to history. As Salvatore begins to show a flair for filmmaking, his old mentor (a seasoned projectionist named Alfredo) encourages him to abandon small-town life and pursue his passion in Rome, saying, “Don’t give in to nostalgia!” But when Salvatore returns years later, the Paradiso brings it all flooding back.
