The documentary tells the story of Henri Langlois, a Turkish-born French film historian and co-founder of the Cinemathèque Française, which grew from a small collection of 10 films in 1936 to a vast archive of 60,000 films by the early 1970s. The film also explores the public's support for Langlois after he was nearly ousted as head of the Cinemathèque by French Minister of Culture André Malraux in 1968.
