It is an intimate, creative and immensely visual documentary where a couple
of stories weave into one narrative during one night. In a big city, many
people are joined in one need. Troubled by loneliness, they want to talk to
someone. Some of them call emergency number 112, even if it is not really
necessary, others call the radio. This time the subject of the broadcast is the
end of the world predicted by the Mayan calendar. The speaker asks the
listeners what it actually means to each one of them. They talk about things
that are tragic, painful and sometimes trivial and funny. Their need to be
heard, to communicate, to share their experience with someone else is evident
and moving. The radio is a motif linking this night’s events so we hear it in
the ambulance, in a city’s monitoring centre, where we observe the nightlife of
the city presented on dozens of screens. The radio binds the elements of the
film together in terms of structure and meaning. It is the source of the most
important questions.
