Through an old man's binoculars, a bird faces a bad mushrooms trip, ending in an existential crisis.
It realizes he is a small insignificant bird in the vast randomness of the universe... and it's okay, after all.
Have you ever felt lost?
With no idea why or how you ended up where you are? Doubting every choice you've made in your life? Scared of the future?
Welcome to the club!
We felt so lost that we went from being animators in the city to living in the Alps in the middle of nowhere. (Aosta Valley, to be precise).
Now we spend our days gardening, foraging for mushrooms, and making cartoons to pay the rent.
Living simply, surrounded by giant mountains, we felt how insignificant we are ...and that's totally cool!
Cultivating our own inner garden allows us to laugh at our existential dread, and this film shows that even a silly bird holds value in this chaotic natural grand scheme; you just need to change your point of view.
