When her eccentric Uncle Sunny dies and leaves her his mouldering old movie theatre, Amita must uproot herself from the suburbs of Montreal and fly across the country to Vancouver. With the help (or hindrance) of her half-Italian sorta-kinda cousin Mario, Amita must decide whether to sell Dollar Cinema to ndubious developer Mr Constantine or take on the decrepit theatre and its misfit staff, and make a go of running the cinema her uncle loved herself.
