Five actors from Mack Sennett's partly lost 1926 comedy "The Divorce Dodger" are resurrected by an AI restoration engine. Trapped between fragile nitrate frames and synthetic pixels, vain starlet Thelma, multiplying artist Vernon, thieving cinephile Billy, tech naive Barbara, and rebellious cutter Barney break through the screen when their director vanishes mid scene. Each personifies a different instinct toward technology: vanity, cloning, appropriation, blind faith, and resistance. Their fight to seize the film's missing ending turns a silent slapstick reel into a duel over authorship, identity, and the future of cinema.
