Storyline:

In 1909, four fearless entrepreneurs and then-unknown Irish writer James Joyce met in Trieste, the main port of the Austro-Hungarian empire, where he convinced them to expand their cinema business and invest in the opening of Ireland’s first full-time cinema. The Cinema Volta is not a historical documentary about the opening of a landmark cinema, but a light, spirited, and modern personal search for the spirit of the people involved.
