The film gives a picture of the busy life that moves throughout the day in the Radio House, and it shows us the people behind the voices as well as the technical means needed to complete the broadcasts.

We also drop by the director's office, the music archive and the Marketenderiet, where the house's many employees meet over a bite to eat or a cup of coffee.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Grundtvig High School in 1944, this tribute was made to a cultural-historical achievement. In a quietly progressive, classic film language with often staged reconstructions, the spiritual preconditions of the colleges, the efforts of the time, and the life that unfolded are told about the peasants and girls meeting the paternal, fundamentalist spirit. There are recordings from eg. Vallekilde Højskole and Frederiksborg Højskole, but very many high schools across the country are introduced in short clips.
