How it feels

Three elderly people who have never met in person listen to the same local radio station every day. They know each other's voices and follow each other's daily lives. The film is an observational snapshot of aging alone and the faithful community that forms through the radio.

What happens

Radiofolket er en film instrueret af Dorte Høeg Brask. Inger, Bendt og Roma har aldrig mødtes i det virkelige liv. Alligevel føler de, at de kender hinanden. For hver dag står de op og lytter med på den samme lokalradio. De kender hinandens stemmer og følger med i hinandens hverdag. I opture og nedture, når helbredet skranter, og når familien svigter. Et uforpligtende og unikt fællesskab, der plejes med stor trofasthed. En film om at blive gammel og alene. Et øjebliksbillede af et Danmark vi sjældent møder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
