This documentary celebrates the 100th anniversary of the cinema birth. It is an historic running through the technical and artistic evolution of the 7th art. We move from mute to sound, from B&W to color, trough all the genders (musical, Lyric, politic...).

All the aspects are taken in consideration: fashion, star system till the end, the sad end, of cinema in the theaters.
