Antenna gives a portrait of 1970s. The film is a typical work of Ditvoorst: freedom of the individual, the longing for a utopia which is not true, the lonely and misunderstood artist, the aversion against the State, bureaucracy and religious authorities, absurd characters etc. The film has little dialogue and is largely told through the images of cameraman Jan de Bont
