De tijd van de depressie. Cecilia is een bekend gezicht in de plaatselijke bioscoop en de nieuwe film 'Purple Rose of Cairo' is zo mooi dat ze de volgende dag met haar zus weer een kaartje koopt. Tegen de tijd dat ze voor de vijfde keer gaat, ziet één van de personages uit de film haar in de zaal zitten.
Nee, helaas is The Purple Rose of Cairo nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
