“Little Bird is a bird whose wings are in perfect condition — but he doesn’t fly.
He stopped doing so a long time ago and every winter he shelters in his nest to endure the cold.
Until one night, a powerful storm destroys the branch that holds his home and carries him to the window of Ema, a strong-willed old woman with crooked fingers.
After shattering the window glass with the impact of his body, Little Bird is forced to stay there and work to repay the damage he caused.
During his stay, he embarks on an inner journey that leads him to remember who he is — and perhaps who he wants to become.”

“Pajarito es una ave que tiene sus alas en perfecto estado, pero no vuela. Hace mucho tiempo que dejó de hacerlo y todos los inviernos se cobija en su nido para soportar el frío. Hasta que, una noche, una poderosa tormenta destroza la rama que sostiene su hogar y lo arrastra hasta la ventana de Ema, una anciana voluntariosa de dedos torcidos. Tras trizar el vidrio de la ventana con el golpe de su cuerpo, Pajarito se ve obligado a quedarse allí y pagar con trabajo los daños ocasionados. En aquella estadía iniciará un viaje interno que lo llevará a recordar quién es y tal vez quién quiere ser.”
