Out Now!!

About Me

Synopsis
An elegant love letter to cinemas past, an enchanting allegory about the power of mass-media and television, La Antena tells a fairytale about a surrealistic, snow covered city that has lost its voice - stolen by Mr. TV, a fascistic businessman and dictator. Only “La Voz”, a female singer, and her young son retain their voices, and together with a family determined to regain theirs, they come together in an attempt to overthrow the power of Mr. TV.
Heavy on symbolism, élan, and armed with a truly stunning visual style, La Antena emerges as one of the most original pieces of cinema to arrive on British screens in a number of years and is an film NOT to be missed.
