A lighthearted comedy about the collision between a jaded veteran actor and enthusiastic young filmmakers, celebrating the joy and innocence of creative play.

While a veteran actor laments the state of film and film acting, a group of young children sneak a Panavision camera into the apartment where the actor resides and decide to make a film with it.
