Movie version 

One night, Roman filmmaker Salvatore tells her mother from home on the phone that Alfredo has died. Salvatore was in the bed, thinking of the days spent with Alfredo.

Shortly after the end of World War II, a young Salvatore boy, who was called "Toto", lived with his mother and sister in a remote village in Sicily. My father went out and it is unknown. At that time, a small cinema combined with a church facing the village center square was the village's only entertainment facility.

For the villagers who were isolated from the outside world, the cinema was the only window that led to the outside of the village. When it comes to the weekend, when the projection machine turns around in the theater, it is before the villagers who are looking over the eyes, such as the richness beyond imagination in the American film, and the romantic gender relationship that can not be a conservative village. The outside world was projected on On the night of the new import movie being released, the villagers gathered in the cinema, cheered on the screen, and screamed booing where the innocent priest of the church had cut the love scene that it should be.

Toto who was fascinated by the movie had entered the projection room many times. Alfredo, who is a projection engineer, makes a sense of familiarity while scolding Toto each time, and Toto begins to remember the look and feel of the operation of the projector. One night, a film fire accident occurred during projection and the movie theater was completely burned down. Alfredo saved his life with Toto's frantic rescue but lost sight with burns. Eventually, his father's death was recognized, and Toto became a projection engineer while supporting children in the newly rebuilt cinema "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso" and supported the family budget.

As the years go by, Toto, who became a youth, gets a movie camera and shoots a movie by himself. After Toto was recruited after her first love with the beautiful girl Elena that I saw at the station, another man sat in the projection room when I returned to the village after I was discharged, and Elena was out of communication. Alfredo falls to Toto down, saying, "Because I am young, I can go out and find a way, not be in the village, and not come back". "Life is more difficult than the films you saw, more difficult!" Toto, as the word says, left by train for Rome.

30 years from then. A successful middle-aged Toto-Salvatore in Rome, he returned to his hometown village where his old mother awaits to attend Alfredo's funeral. So he knows that the "New Paradise" has already been closed and the dismantling of the building is near. Salvatore is given the look that Alfredo has left him. It was a film where the love scenes of several movies were edited by omnibus, and a little Toto joined the kiss scenes that were once deleted by the priest.

Complete edition 

Elder Salvatore, who returned to his hometown, is upset by seeing a girl in Elena at the cafe. Afterward, it is learned that Salvatore's childhood friend Boccea married Elena and had a daughter born. When Salvatore reunites with Elena and accuses why he did not come to the meeting place of the run-off, Elena asked Alfredo to tell, but he was refused, so he moved the address and message to the back of the screening note. I write it and explain that I left it on the wall of the projection room. Alfredo was persuading Elena to break up with Salvatore to get Salvatore to leave the village and follow his path. Salvatore, who knows the story, feel angry with Alfredo, but Elena says, "If I was married to me, I could not have made a great movie." Salvatore and Elena kiss in the car and make sure of love in a bunch. Salvatore examines a bunch of innumerable screening notes in a dusty projection room and finally reads the message from Elena. When Salvatore called Elena again before leaving the village, Elena said, "Let's forget that dream of the night." Salvatore returns to Rome and sees a look-ahead film from Alfredo in the projection room.
