As Russian president Vladimir Putin pointed out himself earlier this year, “nobody would survive” a nuclear war between Russia and the United States.

Alarmingly, many experts believe it may still be in use. The system was originally pioneered in the Soviet era, where it took the form of a computer system which scanned the airwaves for signs of life or nuclear fallout. As their fans readily admit themselves, they have absolutely no idea what they are listening to.

It joins two similar mystery stations, “ the Pip” and the “ Squeaky Wheel”. Today the station has an online following numbering in the tens of thousands, who know it affectionately as “the Buzzer”.

It’s so enigmatic, it’s as if it was designed with conspiracy theorists in mind. Anyone, anywhere in the world can listen in, simply by tuning a radio to the frequency 4625 kHz. Once or twice a week, a man or woman will read out some words in Russian, such as “dinghy” or “farming specialist”. Every few seconds it’s joined by a second sound, like some ghostly ship sounding its foghorn. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for the last three-and-a-half decades, it’s been broadcasting a dull, monotonous tone. It is thought to be the headquarters of a radio station, “MDZhB”, that no-one has ever claimed to run. This sinister location is the focus of a mystery which stretches back to the height of the Cold War. Beyond its rusted bars is a collection of radio towers, abandoned buildings and power lines bordered by a dry-stone wall. In the middle of a Russian swampland, not far from the city of St Petersburg, is a rectangular iron gate. What you won’t find is any reference to, well, you-know-what. You’ll find everything from the story about the world’s greatest space mission to the truth about whether our cats really love us, the epic hunt to bring illegal fishermen to justice and the small team which brings long-buried World War Two tanks back to life. We’ll be revisiting our most popular features from the last three years in our Lockdown Longreads.

So now we’re dedicating a series to help you escape. In a strange Scandinavian weird way, this is a romantic comedy in our part of the world - you know, we’re riffing off the great American tradition of George Cukor, we love those films - but the truth is also that as it turns out, it’s quite a serious film about how loss shapes our feelings about ourselves and the choices that we make… Also, we’re discovering the Western middle-class experience of feeling that identity and expectations is this big pressure on us - we share between different countries, it’s not only Norway or New York or Paris many people feel these themes in their lives.BBC Future has brought you in-depth and rigorous stories to help you navigate the current pandemic, but we know that’s not all you want to read. Trier adds that in “many places in the world people are identifying with it, and that’s really moving… I think we were going to Cannes talking a lot about the romantic comedy aspects of it. “Every time I’ve talked to someone new, they seem to have a very personal experience with the movie,” she said.

Given it’s been a while since that first screening, what have Trier and Reinsve learned from the reception of the film in various areas? For Reinsve, she was surprised to see that women of different ages really clicked with the story. I couldn’t believe we were there and now this almost a year has been a whirlwind and so overwhelming and so exciting. Reinsve says she went for it because in her head it was “the last thing we’ll do with this movie, this is our great moment walking on this red carpet.
