A narrator without a voice, somewhere between human and animal, vague but understandable thanks to subtitles, opens up the tenous relationship with nature: the attempt to understand the Otherness of this perspective fails precisely because of the elusiveness of what is being narrated. In the monochromatic shots of landscapes and birds, the narrator becomes understandable as a “therian,” a human being who believes that part of their soul belongs to a bird.
