'I’m from a family of champions. Go-getters. When we fly against the wind, we’re at our best.' Says a successful Groningen-based carrier pigeon, one of his owner’s favourites. The pigeon flyer is very fond of his pigeons and the competition, but when the crisis strikes, he is faced with a tough decision. The pigeon moves to a rich colleague in China. Getting accustomed to his new surroundings, the bird asks himself existential questions. A tragicomic event, seen through the eyes of the pigeon itself.
