While filmmakers and film viewers keep expressing dialectic points of view on the role of cinema in our lives, times and culture; Raqeeb, a boy of 7 largely oblivious to the world of cinema, diligently works as a projectionist in a dilapidated and lone cinema house in a nondescript Bangladeshi village named Chandpur.
While the grown-ups continuously try to imagine and construct young Raqeeb’s world in their own terms, this film named after the cinema house Koh-i-Noor tries to capture whether those views conform to Raqeeb’s own life and ideas.
