Less about the legendary store itself and the state of physical media and more about a man's obsession with cinema and what happened to the massive eclectic collection. I was not prepared for the extreme situations this collection was tied up with- being boxed up to sit in shitty conditions hidden from the public in a small Italian town for years to having ties with the mafia and the collection being stolen back through a heist plot ripped straight from Argo.
