Birds are not birds. They search. They don't find. They reject. They forgive. Without a let up (Lost Birds). Somebody begs a look, a gesture, or a word that can't come because these birds are dumb (Beggar Birds). She hugs him. Then she turns and hugs her. This second one turn to yet another 'her'. This last 'she' hugs him. He turns towards another 'him'. This 'he' is with a 'her' who turns towards another 'him'. This 'he', however, is with a 'her' who goes to another 'him'. This other 'he' is carried off by yet another 'him'. However, a 'she' comes in-between, who shares herself with the two. At the end, the three want the two of them (Love Birds). Beggar Birds would like to take its inspiration from life, but a film can only give a pale idea of life. And so, it's all just the same if you step over life and go beyond it. Who knows where? The film continues the search for utopia, after Earth Birds and Birds That Go. Utopia of the cinema and of the world. A search for oneself and for an everything. Life in the shape of a ballet and like a river that goes, with me and with the others. I broken away, lost. My particular Encyclopedia of Birds goes on." -Tonino de Bernardi
