Samtalekur

Alt det, vi ikke kunne tale om

Vi gør det hele tiden. Taler med hinanden. Både derhjemme, på arbejde og i det offentlige rum. I tv, radio og aviser er der altid nogle, der taler sammen. Der sniksnakkes på sociale medier og skrives samtalebøger. Alligevel er det, som om vi mangler at tale sammen. Sådan rigtigt. Svend Brinkmann, Tor Nørretranders og Rane Willerslev mødes for at tage på kur – samtalekur. De besøger både et hotel, en kirkegård, en frokostkantine og et værtshus i forsøget på at komme samtalens væsen nærmere. Undervejs taler de om det, man ikke kan tale om – Trump, Voldemort og Freud. De vender skyggesider, sorte bøger og livet efter døden. Men de når også omkring relationer, rationalitet og Ritt Bjerregaard, og det hele bliver til tider finurligt, urtet og nørdet. Kort sagt kommer de ud i livets afkroge og ind på livet af hinanden, som de bevæger sig dybere ned i samtalen.
