Si en un cineclub la soberanía es del público, en esta historia es de un grupo de amigos que quiere hacer una película... sobre un cineclub. Metaficción, celuloide, música y amistad son los ingredientes de esta fresquísima comedia. He aquí una reivindicación de la pasión por las películas, una invitación a regresar a los orígenes para recuperar la ingenuidad y la inocencia originales. He aquí una ficción gozosa, desbordante, divertida y melancólica a un tiempo, el intento de filmar la preparación y celebración de la última sesión de un cineclub coordinado por unos cuantos estudiantes de cine. Y he aquí también la película que están haciendo, y que quizá sea la que veamos nosotros, vibrante y conmovedora.
