A movie that requires full attention and patience to really absorb its beauty. A story of Salvatore Di Vita's (Jacques Perrin) history. he recalls his experience in a village of Giancaldo, Sicily which starts in the 1940's. He meets an amiable film projector Alfredo (Philippe Noiret) in Cinema Paradiso. An unfortunate accident happens and "Toto" takes over the film projection and meets a new girl named Elena from his school. The two get together but unfortunately, Elena transferred her and they never got back. Alfredo advises Toto leave the town to do what he loves "he must pursue his destiny wholeheartedly and never look back and never return, never returning to visit, never to give in to nostalgia, never to even write or think about them." Salvatore returns for a reason.
