After a silent, masked individual encounters a man with a television for an arm; horror, euphoria and madness ensue.
The film opens with a sequence in which Mask's head can be seen floating in a blackened void staring at a flickering television screen, paired with a loud droning noise and images of a bright light growing. The sequence ends with a light appearing in Mask's eye socket and then fading into the blackness while the screen lowers in volume and disappears.
Next, in a black and white landscape of hills and trees, a masked, humanoid figure (Mask) enters a windmill on top of a hill covered in tall grass. Inside, Mask draws in a book containing images of crowds of people. Not long afterwards, a man dragging a Television set on a stand surgically attached to his arm (TV Man) enters the windmill and throws five VHS tapes at Mask, leaving him stunned. Mask picks up one and inserts it into the television set's VHS player which causes an earsplitting noise to ring out, the film's aspect ratio to change from 4:3 ratio to 16:9 ratio ratio and a bombardment of grainy, deformed visuals to appear in Mask's peripheral vision. In the ensuing chaos, TV Man is implied through the visuals to have left the windmill and collapsed in the tall grass. Mask, overwhelmed by the carnage, faints and is shown to be sucked into a blackened void.
Then, there is a sequence in which Mask's head is floating in a blackened void staring at the mysterious television screen. The screen turns on and Mask is shown a creature (Screenchild) waking up, walking around, picking up and breaking a stick, looking at flowers and entering a dark forest. Screenchild appears to drop whatever device is allowing Mask to see him which causes a noise to build up and the visuals to become even more distorted. The sequence ends with Screenchild picking up the device, screaming at it and then fading out into the darkness. Mask's head slowly disappears just as this happens. Afterwards is a short sequence in which we see from the perspective of something lying in tall grass. Screenchild appears and picks it up, ending the scene.
Afterwards, two screens collide together inside the void. One has the black and white world inside, the other has a grainy image of a human eye (the screen world). In the black and white world, Mask is looking out over the landscape, while in the screen world Screenchild rushes up a flight of stairs and finds a book containing the storyboard for the The Garden and reads the scene where Mask and TV Man meet in the windmill. Screenchild rips up the book and throws it off screen, leading it to be teleported into the black and white world in which Mask picks up the book and has a vision in which several blindfolded bodies lie underneath a tree at the bottom of a hill. Mask rushes over to the tree to find them there, accompanied with loud dramatic music which Screenchild turns off via a speaker dial in the screen world, leading the black and white world to be silent. As Mask walks away from the bodies aimlessly, Screenchild pulls a plug out from a socket in the screen world somehow creating a loud cacophonous noise which Mask is able to hear. Mask collapses on the grass as Screenchild screams in tandem with the noise. As the noise dies down Mask stops moving and falls limp on the grass. The camera crew move forward towards Mask's body as a beam of black light pulls particles from the air, altering the film's aspect ratio back to 4:3 ratio.
Mask's head is then submerged in the void again, with his eye full of light. It fades out and a display of bright, heavenly shapes and imagery of a space station is shown accompanied by slow, harmonious music. The imagery then abruptly snaps to a hyper detailed, over-sharpened image of the station and the music alters into discordant, harsh noise. The film's frame shakes violently and recedes backwards, displaying the blank screen once again. The screen then displays an extreme close up of Screenchild screaming in pain while Mask watches. Screenchild is then abruptly dragged into the darkness by an unknown force and hits a switch in the process which causes the film to stop.
Mask then watches as the screen in front of him, shrinks, slowly grows in size along with a rising shriek and then watches The Garden being played back to him at an extremely fast speed. The TV then turns off. The film ends with Mask receding into the darkness and both eye sockets filling up with light as the TV slowly fades in through the darkness.
