The black and white silent film takes place in Hollywood, and the year is 1927. George Valentin is one of the undisputed idols of the silent film; recognizable by his narrow mustache and distinctive white evening clothes, he stars in exotic tales of intrigue and fearless exploits. When the young dancer Peppy Miller and the advent of new technology enter his life, George finds himself at a crossroads: should he accept the sound film like the young star or risk slipping into oblivion. The film is an undeniable experiment that takes us to the era of silent films, when the acting itself set the events and told the story, and dialogues were considered a curse. There is no masterpiece that relies on images, actors and music to captivate the audience, everything else is secondary.
