Synopsis

When the film The Phantom of the Cinemabreaks, the light behind the screen is turned on and the audience is witness to the struggles of a cinema-owner, the lavatory attendant and the technician. In an attempt to start the screening again they tumble through their chambers behind the screen. This film is Erik van Schaaik's second movie in what will be a trilogy of films using silhouettes.
