Two young sisters, Romy and Maya (6 and 10 years old), find a dying blackbird. Starving wild animals emerge from the forest, attracted by the bird. Facing his agony, the older sister end his life to reduce his suffering. Her action will drag the girls in a cycle of decomposition and revival which goes beyond them.

REVIEWS:
A raw, poetic vision of childhood innocence confronting mortality. The sparse dialogue and expressive animation give it a surreal, almost primal feeling. A remarkable achievement for a student short.

A truly unusual animation. Gently beautiful, emotionally complex. It’s about the diversity of life forms, interaction, and transformation. Leaves a long-lasting, luminous aftertaste. Thank you!
