Aris and Anna meet one evening in a half-abandoned town surrounded by antennas, which emit strange sounds and enable the transmission of human voices. In this bizarre, dreamlike world, where things don’t seem quite right – including people’s behaviour – these two solitary souls gradually start developing feelings for one another.
