Meer over het boek

The narrative explores the revival of a derelict Hungarian cinema, reflecting on its historical significance and the communal experiences it once fostered. As the narrator journeys through the Great Alfold, she becomes captivated by the cinema's past, viewing it as a "dream in a glass coffin." The story intertwines the perspectives of the town's remaining residents with the physical remnants of the theater, celebrating the magic of cinema as a space for collective imagination and a ritualistic escape from reality.
