You’re never too old to be amazed. A man in a nursing home notices that, although his activities are limited, those feathers on his head hold a special promise in this award-winning stop-motion animation with a magical realist touch.
Stretching exercises, a game of Bingo and choir rehearsal: life in the nursing home holds few surprises for Piet in this stop-motion animation. Until suddenly he notices some feathers growing on his head; a first sign of a remarkable transformation. Will Piet still be accepted by the other seniors as a strange bird, or is it time to spread his newly acquired wings? One of the award winners at the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival.
