Maria comes from abroad to visit an English family. On the way to the Cinema Club she gets lost and misses the film. Next day the children find the cinema unlocked. They take her over it and try out the apparatus. Then they surprise a thief and give chase, finally trapping him with the spotlight so that the police can catch him.
This fly on the wall-style documentary from 1961 won an Oscar for best documentary, and shows the changing patterns of human emotions during 24 hours in the life of Waterloo Station.
