RadioAmateur

Original title: Jest taki samotny dom
Participated in: MIDPOINT Feature Launch 2025
Genre: comedy drama
Country: Poland

Krzysztof, widowed working-class man goes to a health resort, where, thanks to love, he slowly awakens from apathy and confronts his past and suppressed sorrow.

Krzysztof, a lonely widower forced into retirement, faces an ordinary last day at work—until his beloved dog dies. The loss triggers a health crisis and a stay at a faded post-Soviet sanatorium, where he hides from his daughter, Dagmara, who wants to mend their relationship. 

He isolates himself there with an old radio set, until Małgorzata - a vibrant, rule-breaking woman - draws him into her world of senior discos and defiant joy. As their bond deepens, Krzysztof prepares his flat for a shared life, unaware Dagmara had her own plans for it. 

When Małgorzata disappears, he finds she is married and terminally ill. Shattered, he attempts suicide at his old factory, but the thought of Dagmara stops him. As he finally reaches for reconciliation, RadioAmateur becomes not just a story of late-life romance, but of emotional courage across generations—a tender rebellion against invisibility, grief, and the outdated idea that it’s ever too late to change.
