“An off-beat comedy about serious matters by PIER PAOLO PASOLINI.”

ComedyFantasy

A man and his son take an allegorical stroll through life with a talking bird that spouts social and political philosophy.

VIBE

A cerebral, allegorical journey through Roman streets with a philosophical crow. It's a quirky, talky, and often biting satire that feels like a dream you can't quite shake.
