An enchanting allegory about the power of media and television, La Antena (The Aerial) is set in a surrealistic, snow covered city ruled by Mr. TV. The dictator controls all food production and spoken word, which he uses for broadcasts. It has left the inhabitants speechless and dependent.
Only La Voz, a female singer, escapes the rule of Mr. TV. She and her young son are the only persons able to speak. A man, his father and his young daughter join forces with La Voz in an attempt to overthrow the power of Mr. TV.
La Antena, shot entirely in black-and-white, refers in style to silent cinema but also uses many graphical, digital and animated special effects.
