1978年，伊朗一起電影院縱火案燒死數百人，也從此改變國家命運。四十年後，一名想買抗焦慮藥物的男子，恍惚間被帶進電影博物館的奇異通道，經神秘木偶人指引後，加入一場只想示威、無意傷人的天真電影院縱火行動。是時空錯亂來重演悲劇，抑或歷史總是驚人相似？與此同時，銀幕內放映的影片內容，一枚未爆彈、一場露天放映、一些魔術把戲，再次與銀幕外各自平行發展的周邊種種，或隱或顯地相連⋯⋯。

伊朗鬼才導演沙朗莫克利，繼《一鏡殺到底》驚艷影壇，再交出驚世奇作。在一景一鏡極致調度下，雜揉古今虛實，設置封閉又敞開的時空迴圈。大量似是又非的巧妙對照、不同視角出發的重複段落，在貌似鬆散的並置穿插下，緊扣無心釀成大禍之必然、電影重塑現實之魔幻。

Forty years ago, during the uprising to overthrow the Shah's regime in Iran, protesters set fire to movie theaters as a way of showing opposition to Western culture. Many cinemas were burned down. In one tragic case, a theatre was set on fire with four hundred people inside, most of whom were burned alive. Forty years have passed and, in contemporary Iran, four individuals also decide to burn a cinema down. Their intended target is a theatre showing a film about an unearthed, un-exploded missile. Will past and present meet?
