Strange Birds
There are lots of things that we cannot explain- and yet they happen… Strange Birds is a danced roadmovie with two lonely men that happen to meet in a frosty landscape.
How did they end up there and do they dare to meet within a tango?
About things that happen without any reason but grows to something greater.
