Synopsis
Set at the intersection of an observational documentary and an audio-visual experiment, this film connects the strangers from the opposite ends of the radio signal and reimagines the role of the old-school, live, spoken word radio in contemporary life. The story follows the daily life of Radio Belgrade – one of Europe’s oldest and Serbia’s only radio station that still broadcasts cultural, scientific, art and drama programming today. A guide through the world of its creators and listeners becomes the Radio itself, as an omnipotent protagonist, with its own will and intentions.
