Experiencing Interruptions?

78.4

In the late 80s, in Portugal, Manuel (18 years) and Alfredo (21 years) have been broadcasters for three years at a little pirate radio on the village they live, in the attic of Manuel’s house – the Pluto Radio. After being told by Alfredo that he was interning at an official radio Manuel, not admitting to Alfredo what he really felt about the news he struggles with the dilemma of continuing alone or not at all with the pirate radio they both had started and grew together.
