Live Action Radio

Two Poles in their twenties have conceived an ambitious plan to start an Internet radio show. Pawel, with long hair and a goatee, and his bespectacled buddy Grzegorz are both physically disabled and need crutches to walk, but the two young men don't let this stand in their way. Jurkiewicz follows the pair without comment while they go out, fantasise about their plans and hold street surveys for their show. They also give a course on journalism and seem to have a lot of fun together. The fun-loving mood changes as their show starts to materialise. Grzegorz, who walks a little better than Pawel, can no longer get enthusiastic about his longhaired friend. "When I see you walk, I get nauseous!" he shouts at Pawel, while he himself has considerable difficulty getting around. During their recurring conversations on a park bench, Grzegorz hardly looks at Pawel anymore, mumbling that he always has to explain things to him over and over and that he's sick of it. Furthermore, he says Pawel never has any good ideas. Grzegorz wants to be normal, and hanging around with Pawel doesn't make that any easier. When Grzegorz chooses another co-host for the show, it's the straw that broke the camel's back for the wounded Pawel. (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam)
