Our take
A charming, delicate revelation of the creatures and workers at a bird shelter, Sergio da Costa and Maya Kosa’s film opens your eyes to the devotion and expertise required in animal care. It’s not hard to take these lessons of compassion and rehabilitation and want to apply them to humankind.
