On the eve of the German invasion in 1940 Belgium, a tender attachment forms between 18-year-old Berre, a gifted young radio apprentice, and Elza, a luminous on-air performer seeking joy in uncertain times. Inside Brussels’s famed Flagey Building, Berre rises from intern to sound engineer, crafting transportive live radio drama soundscapes that captivate Elza. As their fragile bond deepens amid air-raid sirens and rising antisemitism, the radio studio becomes a haven where imagination and escape push back the gathering darkness. Through lyrical visuals, sumptuous period detail, and breathtaking use of sound, this singular prewar tale delivers an immersive WWII-era drama unlike any other.
