When the feature film breaks in this short animation, the audience sees the theatre employees through the screen, as in a shadow play: an operator, a lavatory attendant and a nasty manager.
The film Phantom of the Cinema keeps getting stuck. While the operator tries to restart it, the audience notices, through the screen, the silhouettes of the unsuspecting employees. They see a romance between the operator and the lavatory attendant and the manager's indelicate hobby. This shadow play on the flat plane contrasts with the other computer-animated images, which have depth and shadows.
