Private Project

RED BIRD

Killa (5), a city girl, moves to the countryside after the death of her mother. Little by little the girl learns from her grandmother to work the fields and get involved with nature. Some red birds (Puka Urpi) follow the girl when she goes out to the fields to work. The birds have a spiritual connection with Killa's death mother, who helps and invites her to visit an abandoned house, where the temporal space between the world of the living and the dead is connected.
