What it’s about. Ya anciano, enfermo, pobre y en gran parte olvidado, William Freise-Greene fue en su día muy diferente.

Pero también fue inventor, y su búsqueda de una forma de proyectar imágenes en movimiento se convirtió en una obsesión que finalmente cambió la vida de todos sus seres queridos.
