Synopsis: A young couple... have just purchased a large new standalone radio for their house. While they had hoped to use their radio to listen to Mozart or other essential classical composers, they instead discover that it has the ability to tune not into radio stations, but into the rooms of other people that live in their apartment complex. -- from a review
