In a rundown movie theatre in central Massachusetts, three underpaid employees sweep up popcorn in the empty aisles and tend to one of the last 35mm projectors in the state. The Flick pays tribute to the power of movies and paints a heartbreaking portrait of three characters and their working lives. (Pulitzer Prize, 2014)
