May 1940. While the world balances on the edge of war, in the iconic Flahey building in Brussels — from where the national radio broadcasts — the lives of Elza, a young actress takes her first steps in the radio play studios, and Berre, a starting sound man with an almost magical hearing, cross. He’s looking for guidance in the elusive power of sound, albeit in the enchantment of radio plays. Their meeting ignites a spark of love that raises them above the threat of their time. RADIOMAN is a vivacious romance about passion, imagination and the search for humanity in dark times. In the wondrous world of the Belgian radio in the 1940s, their love sounds louder than the noise of the approaching war – an echo of hope in a world that’s on the verge of losing her innocence.

About audio description

Audio description is a technique where a narrator describes everything visual (actions, facial expressions, environments, etc.) during intervals between dialogue. This makes the films also accessible for the blind and visually impaired.
