Icarus, kom (Icarus, Come)

| junges dokfest 1: Animal Crossing
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

Ziya is fascinated by the little bird she found on the sidewalk. She takes him home, names him Icarus, teaches him tricks and films him. With time passing, she gets more and more emotionally attached to him, till one day the inevitable happens… While scrolling back through the images and films on her phone, Icarus gradually transcends his avian nature. He slowly transforms into an image himself, inviting a delicate reflection on the nature of human-pet-relationships.
