Birds, Orphans and Fools
ComedyDramaFamilyFantasyWar78 min
In a world scarred by political violence, three young orphans build a fragile refuge out of games, flirtation, and make-believe. They answer brutality with a stubborn childlike creed: stay foolish, stay joyful, refuse the logic of the violent world around them. For a time, that private universe holds. But the pressure outside their circle keeps closing in, and their playful denial starts to collide with jealousy, desire, and the damage they carry with them. Set in no fixed place or era, the film turns their triangle into a parable about people trying to remain innocent after history has already marked them.
