TRINIDAD GONZÁLEZ (CHI)

Three friends, humanists and connected to the arts, gather for a few drinks at one of their homes. At a given moment, the host takes the rubbish out to the dustbin and returns with an unknown person who was sleeping in the street. To their general astonishment, the new arrival states that he is a bird and suggests that everyone should imagine the feathers covering his body. Initially receptive, the friends start to feel abused by the bird’s strange presence. And from that point onwards the night takes an ever more violent twist.
