Two energies that exchange glances, yield to a passion that vibrates in harmony. Both are transmuted, revealing themselves as witnesses that with a gesture of love it is possible to deserve the world.

A Bird spies the pain of the world, silenced by the sphere in which it confines itself. Fruit of freedom's essence, but without possession of it, the pair of wings takes comfort in the shadows that dance between the cycle of life. After a tempting debate with his own reflection, the bird conquers the skies, judging himself free at last. But would that freedom be free? Or an even bigger cage?

In a reality where the common goal is to find one’s freedom, lives a peculiar man who hasn’t yet fulfilled that wish. He feels trapped despite having flight as his biggest ambition.

An animated interpretation of the poem "The Dead" By Sophia de Mello Breyner. This adaptation follows the perpetual cycle of the immaterial abyss, the faceless human remains, walking hungry for our bodies, wanting to taste once more the true essence of life.
