The Soundman

On the eve of the German invasion of Belgium in 1940, director Frank Van Passel stages a sweeping, emotionally resonant love story set against the birth of modern broadcasting.

A spirited young radio actress and a gifted, introverted soundman meet inside a bustling studio where voices, effects, and imagination conjure entire worlds. As war looms and the Nazi threat edges closer, their creative partnership deepens into romance—fueled by urgency, innovation, and the fragile magic of live radio.

With meticulously recreated period detail and mounting tension, The Soundman becomes both a tribute to unsung artists behind the microphone and a moving portrait of love tested by history’s darkest hour.
