Both Hilary and Stephen find a sense of belonging through their unlikely and tender relationship and come to experience the healing power of music, cinema, and community.

Český Empire je kino, jaké se už příliš často nevidí, rámované jasnými neony a krásnou markýzou, která vlídně zve do červených sametových sedaček kinosálu. Hilary (Olivia Colman) slouží na recepci, každé ráno otevírá kino a dohlíží na stánek překypující občerstvením. Její manažer (Colin Firth) si ji čas od času volá k sobě do kanceláře, aby mu prokázala jisté nedovolené služby. Je to ponurá rutina, které se Hilary jen neochotně podvoluje. Když ale nastoupí nový a snaživý zaměstnanec Stephen (Micheal Ward), vznikne mezi ním a Hilary rychle vztah. Stephen se jako muž černé pleti potýká s rasismem, který v Británii 80. let bují. Oba jsou zraněni agresí, kterou nemohou ovlivnit, a jeden v druhém nacházejí bezpečný přístav. I když vědí, že jejich vztah nemůže trvat věčně a dvojice musí brzy čelit realitě své odlišné budoucnosti.

Οι δύο πρωταγωνιστές μοιράζονται την ίδια ανάγκη για ανθρώπινη επαφή και μέσα από την παράξενη και τρυφερή τους σχέση θα βιώσουν τη θεραπευτική δύναμη της μουσικής, του κινηματογράφου και της κοινότητας.

Magyar Hilary (Olivia Colman) recepciósként dolgozik: minden reggel kinyitja a mozit és felügyeli a frissítőkkel teli standot. Menedzsere (Colin Firth) időről időre behívja az irodájába, hogy néhány apró szívességet kérjen. Ez egy zord rutin, amelynek Hilary csak vonakodva veti alá magát. Hamarosan azonban egy új és szorgalmas alkalmazott, Stephen (Micheal Ward) érkezik a tengerparti moziba, és rövid idő múlva kapcsolat alakul ki közte és Hilary között. Stephen fekete férfiként minden nap szembenéz a rasszizmussal. Mindkettőjüket megsebezte a rajtuk kívül álló agresszió, és egymásban találnak menedéket. Tudják, hogy kapcsolatuk nem tarthat örökké, és a párnak hamarosan szembe kell néznie a valósággal, hogy nem lehet közös jövőjük ezekben az időkben.

Türkçe Sam Mendes, bu kez sinemanın büyüsüyle iç içe bir aşk hikâyesini beyazperdeye taşıyor.
