The thing I missed is what is ditto? is it a widget or sniplet or what?
I think Ditto is exactly what you want, although it would take a little getting used to and some work to make it look the way you have it now.
Ditto is a snippet that aggregates data for display. It’s really hard to explain in words, but not that hard to understand and use once you get what it is.
For your site, you’d have a container document and, within it, a document for each film which would include the synopsis and other elements. The individual film pages would also have a publish and unpublish date that would determine when they would appear and disappear on the site.
In your main page content section, you’d simply have the ditto snippet call and nothing else:
[[Ditto? .. (ditto parameters here) ]]
Ditto would get the info and fill in the main page automatically.
All you (or your designee) would have to do to maintain the site is upload the photos (you could have a form for that), and fill in the information for each new film. Everything else would be automatic.
