Paper birds
During the Spanish Civil War, a musician, a ventriloquist and an orphan form an uncommon family of lost souls fighting to get through, sharing their joys and sorrows. Their only way out of the misery that surrounds them is music. Turns out that, in the absence of bread, applauses are enough. However, they will soon be tested and forced to make decisions that will put their lives in danger.
