The film depicts the Lumière Brothers discussing and examining their Cinématographe machine. This film has traveled through time since 1925, moving between different conservation sites before finally being stored in the Moving Image Research Collections of the University of South Carolina. Every degradation of the image is the result of a natural decomposition, and the filmmaker presents the material sans alteration.
