Abstract
Considering the propositions expressed by the following three sentences:
(1) Some cinematic works are narrations
(2) A work is a narration only if it has one or more narrators
(3) Some of the cinematic works that are narrations have no narrator.
This collection of propositions is a paradox in the sense that there are reasons why each proposition appears to be sound when considered on its own, yet the collection is inconsistent.
(1) Some cinematic works are narrations

This collection of propositions is a paradox in the sense that there are reasons why each proposition appears to be sound when considered on its own, yet the collection is inconsistent.
