The protagonist of "15 corners of the world," Eugeniusz Rudnik, is an engineer, a son of a peasant from a village near Warsaw, who began to work in the Polish Radio in 1950s. He started from tuning tape recorders, and he ended up as a great artist. He never became a star. For his entire life, he was bent over the console, with scissors in his hand, among his everyday services, counted in hundreds, for his colleges from the radio, composers and filmmakers, he made his own tunes. For Rudnik, sound is a piece of magnetic tape, which you can touch, cut, glue together - analogue materials are for him a source of inspiration and necessary condition for his creativity. For him, it is a wonder which came true in the era of tape recorders and disappeared with the coming of computers. The film's protagonist, Eugeniusz Rudnik, captivating with his sense of humour and intelligence, is a charismatic figure from the circles of Polish electronic music, one of the people who make up the legendary Experimental Studio in the Polish Radio.
