SUMMARY:
Four friends visit their friend Victor who has been working
a year on top of a mountain on a radio-TV-cell phone transmitter and
who is refusing every form of communication. Victor's behaviour
towards his friends is restrained, even hostile, and mysterious.
His friends, driven by suspicion and dilemma, discover that the
transmitter is not a usual one but a very powerful and sophisticated
radiation device that alters human brain activity and behaviour.
People feel as if they were in the centre of life. The friends try to
trick Victor and halt the radiation for a short while so that people
might become aware of what is happening to them.
However, Victor catches them in the act...
