This is a triangular love story set in the incredible Mole Antonelliana, a 19^th Century building that was originally designed as a Jewish temple and now houses the National Museum of Cinema.  Martino is a night watchman, cinephile and Buster Keaton enthusiast.  One night he befriends Amanda, the girlfriend of a car thief, who is on the run from the police.  As Amanda waits for her boyfriend to rescue her she begins to develop tender affections for the shy Martino and starts to question her relationship.  The film is shot in three different formats and the action is cross-cut with clips from Buster Keaton movies and a German expressionist film that represent the two characters.  Ferrario writes about films and displays his knowledge in a manner both intelligent and fascinating, making allusions to silent movies and film making techniques, essentially paying homage to the films of a bygone age.
