Brief Explanation

This is the story of 74-year-old Helmut Göldner, Germany’s last real cinema hero. For decades he has packed his mobile film projector in a van and shown movies in remote villages that don’t have a cinema. MasterCard surprised him with a priceless moment, when Helmut met his favourite actor and became a star on the red carpet at the Berlinale 2016 International Film Festival. His story touched the hearts of millions on Facebook and YouTube.
