A loving documentary portrait of an eccentric video store curator and the cinematic sanctuary he built for New York's film lovers over three decades.

Since 1987, and for almost three decades, New York cinephiles had access to a vast treasure trove of rare films thanks to Kim's Video, a small empire run by Yongman Kim, an enigmatic character who amassed more than fifty thousand VHS tapes.
