Synopsis

A very interesting comparison can be drawn between pigeons and humans with regards to the concept of family, in fact, similarities are noted between the two when we take a closer look at why 2000 pigeons fly from Rijeka, Croatia, towards Albania. The motives for their return to their homes were 3: 1. they had to feed their newborns; 2. they had left their partner alone; 3. they had to keep their eggs warm. The documentary follows the lives of pigeons during an extended period of 4 months. The pigeons unite people. In this race we have participants from Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia- Herzegovina.
