Synopsis
Berre is an unworldly and shy young man, passionate about sound and tones and everything related to them, such as the new technology that is invading living rooms: the radio. Through the intercession of his aunt Gabby and uncle André (who is a servant at the National Radio in Brussels), he is allowed an internship in the state-of-the-art radio studios of the Flagey building. It will be a kick-start because when the resident sound engineer drops out, Berre is instantly promoted to ‘foley man’ and this nerd-avant-la-lettre gets to create his uni- que sounds for the radio plays that go live on air. Berre proves to be a great talent.
