Program Notes

63-year-old Peter is on sick leave and spends most of his time alone, in his bedroom, contemplating his past. Little makes sense to him anymore in a world made up of zeros and ones. He finds modern technology difficult and prefers to retreat into his analogue world, made up of his old vinyl records, projectors, and long-wave radios. Comforted by these, his memories and his loving wife, Peter is left yearning for the old days. This film shares with us a common fear of change portrayed through Peter’s struggle to find his place in the modern digital world.
