The delightful story revolves around a couple that inherits a broken down movie theater-the Bijou, and attempts to make a go of it. But once the struggling couple are forced to renovate and operate it, they learn some uproarious lessons about life, love, big business and the enduing magic of the movies. (official distributor synopsis)
