Adult cast. No sexual content and no violence. A building that has closed and is being sold; a woman leaving the island and the job she has held for nineteen years; a man of seventy-nine who is the only living person who was in a room the reader has not seen before; a print of a film made in 1961 that has been in a tin in this building for sixty-five years; and a decision taken at about ten past midnight about nine minutes of film made in 1952 by a man who died in 1994. Nobody dies in this story, nobody is ill, and there is no hearing, no tribunal, no lawsuit, no disaster and no romance. There is nothing supernatural in it and nothing ambiguous: the mystery is solved by eight physical facts about a piece of film.
