Epic documentary about the efforts of P.K. Nair - the equivalent of the Cinémathèque Française's Henri Langlois - to preserve India's rich cinematic history which had been largely neglected when he started in the mid-sixties (from the silent period, he was only able to recover twelve of the roughly twelve-hundred productions) and had similarly fallen into neglect after his retirement as he and director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur discover when they revisit the significant places of Nair's career.
