Bird’s Song

Summer 1989: a little girl is traveling with her parents, enjoying the summer, the holidays and her childhood. But as the family approaches the border, the girl senses unspecified fear and anxiety. She enters the world of adults which she doesn’t understand. Ibrahim is a janitor at an art school. His meeting with a student who asks for his help with a project provokes an initially unwanted stream of remembrances about his past, his culture and his previous existence.
