L Hakim, a living encyclopedia of theoretical knowledge on the cinema, rules supreme over this subject at home; he provides his knowledge to his disciples, gives conferences and interviews and refuses most of the invitations he receives. His wife serves him ad a secretary, cook, nurse The official authorities of his country ask him to organize an evening session on the cinema centenary, with historical films to be shown. A Machiavellian idea crosses his mind But he forgot to think that the power of the cinema is stronger than him.
