La antena
Available on MUBI, Prime Video
In the middle of a long, harsh winter, a whole city has been left without a voice. Mr. TV, a wicked, ruthless man, is the sole owner of the images that illustrate and breathe life into the city, as well as of an extensive chain of products that bear his personal seal. He is implementing a sinister, secret plan to subjugate all of the souls who live there forever more. In order to build his monopoly, he has financed the creation of a dangerous machine that broadcasts on all TV screens hypnotic images designed to stimulate compulsive consumption of his products. This strange machine can only work with the singing of a certain voice, so Mr. TV orders the kidnapping of The Voice, a beautiful, beguiling woman, the only person to have mysteriously retained the gift of speech. An employee of the channel, The Inventor, witnesses the kidnapping and discovers that Mr. TVs secret plan can only be thwarted if the kidnapped womans son inherits the gift of speech. That is when he decides to flee with his family and the boy, the son of The Voice, to an old aerial up in the mountains in an attempt to forestall the impending tragedy. With time running out, The Inventor manages to repair the old aerial. But moments before the macabre broadcast is to take place, they are discovered by Mr. TVs henchmen. A fierce struggle ensues that will lead to the revelation of a great mystery.
