(Beak)

Director: Lucette Braune
Category: Animation
Country: Netherlands
Duration: 12:30

Synopsis:

A little girl is born with wings instead of arms and with a beak where a mouth should be. But unlike a bird though, she cannot fly because she is, after all, still a girl. After being chased away by her father, she ends up in a circus. Adopted by a not-too-bright but friendly drunken clown she settles into her niche as a circus performer. As time goes by, she longs to be a real woman, a human, but there is no place for such a bird-creature in the world outside the circus. So, she creates her own fantasy world as she dreams about the life of a normal young woman, somewhere far away from the circus. In the end, she dreams herself away from it all leaving the audience wondering if the girl was actually there, or if it was something they may have imagined - a girl with wings and a beak.
