Synopsis:

In the 1930s, a meek and lonely woman who suffers the indignation of an unfaithful husband, escapes by spending her days in the local movie theatre, where she becomes enraptured by the characters on screen. But, when one day the leading man of the movie jumps off the screen and falls in love with her, a fantastical escapade ensues.
