The Metamorphosis of Birds

Henrique and Beatriz got married on her twenty-first birthday. Henrique, a naval officer, would spend long periods at sea. On land, Beatriz, who had learned everything in life through her love for plants, made sure that the family’s seed is growing by taking care of their six children. Jacinto (Hyacinth), their oldest son and the director’s father, transforms into a bird in his dreams. In a story as old as time, death intrudes like an unexpected guest. A heartfelt tale of metamorphosis that delves into loss and grief, flying away and growing roots at the same time.
