In 1980s LA, Alys, a wealthy young man, accepts a stranger's invitation to get him into the movies and finds himself plunged into the black and white world of the Silents, a Hollywood precisely as it was in the 1920s, where love is the only subject matter but passion can be expressed only within the censor's limits. Alys' love for the glamorous and elusive Moira Silver inevitably leads him to want to break out of this artifical world with her, back to garish LA. It is as tauntingly erotic as it is brilliantly imaginative.
