The stage of the large, unused movie theatre in the village of Nagvazao faces 400 empty seats. This remarkable building has become a memorial to cultural life in the region. Nato started working at the theater 30 years ago. Officially, it closed and lost its status in the 1990s, when the country fell on hard times. Despite the fact that everything she used to do has been shut down, Nato continues going to work and fighting for the future of the building and the role of the municipal cinema.
