Paradiso

The “Duque de Alba” is the last adult movie theater remaining in Madrid. Rafael, the projectionist, works hard every day in order to keep the place tidy and functional. Not much happens in this requiem for the last X-rated cinema house, but the otherwise banal activities and conversations of its customers are often humorous and poignant.
