Birds Flying East
“The further you go the clearer you see.”
Colombo works at a 24-hour parking lot and tops up his measly wages by selling weed. Mario is a lawyer and a keen birdwatcher, but unfortunately for him, he is unable to drive due to a past accident. Mario offers to pay Colombo to drive him from Valencia to a lake in the Costa Brava (Spain), where he wants to see some cranes. When they reach the lake, the lawyer tells him that the birds have changed their migratory route and are now going to nest in the Danube delta in Constanza (Romania). Mario needs to get there, and Colombo needs the money. Neither of them is aware of the other’s story, but at that moment, a new and definitive journey starts for both of them.
This feels like a charming, reflective journey across unexpected landscapes. It's a tale of two disparate souls finding common ground and new purpose on the open road, blending gentle humor with poignant moments of self-discovery. A quietly hopeful and engaging experience.
