Synopsis

Through the testimonies of bird breeders, this documentary digs into the relationship between men and this fragile animal. The symbolism between the bird and the cage, brings us back to an analogy of contrast between freedom and imprisonment. The film contributes to a reflection and an open debate on this duality.
