In 1930s New Jersey, the quiet Cecilia escapes from her sad and tedious life, including an unfaithful husband, through the magic of movies. In a magical twist, a character in a film sees her through the screen, falls in love, and enters the real world to be with her. The ambitious actor who portrays the character comes to the small town to convince his creation to return through the screen. (Sandpiper Pictures)
