Esteban Sapir's fantasy film is a homage to the era of silent movies but with nods to German expressionism, surrealism and Soviet propaganda posters thrown into the mix. In a futuristic city, the residents have lost their voices to both the omnipotent Mr TV and the nameless corporation that runs the metropolis. Their words instead form as solid blocks, acting as surtitles for the viewer. The only hope of regaining their voices lies with the Voice, a mysterious, ethereal singer, and her eyeless son.
