Breton-born director Vincent Maël Cardona crafts a vividly drawn love letter to analogue technology and captures a moment in cultural history poised on the brink of seismic change. When called for the military service, Philippe has no choice but to leave for West Berlin. He is determined to keep on broadcasting, but realizes that he just lived the last glorious moments of a world on the verge of extinction.

Inventively glitchy sound design and a well-chosen soundtrack bring a distinctive personality to a film which combines a coming-of-age story, a love triangle and a persuasive sense of time and place. Charismatic young actors in the central roles - Olivennes is the son of Kristin Scott Thomas - will add to the film’s appeal both to further festival audiences and, potentially younger audiences.
