(“BIRDS ON THE BRAIN”)
Synopsis:
Its name is Floripa. It is an island in the southern part of Brazil, glowing with beaches and beautiful landscape. Its inhabitants, the “Manezinhos”, are specialized in the raising in captivity of a type of bird called “curio” which in their native language means “friend of men”. The documentary is a journey to discover there the craziest birds of the world and their owners.
