Birds Like Us (2022)

In the shadow of an ominous entity known as the Horror, the avian residents of Birdabad endure the oppressive egg-devouring rule of Kondor and his scavenger squadron as a grim cost for their safety. Daily, they flock around the colossal Egguilibrium machine, dutifully tended by the mute owl, Hasan. This ritualistic exchange sees their precious eggs traded for life-sustaining fruit. However, Hupu, a spirited and daring young bird, refuses to surrender her egg to such a cruel fate. Assisted by her silent husband, Hasan, and a mystic seed, Hupu defies Kondor, shaking the very foundation of the system. In the ensuing chaotic pursuit, Hupu, Hasan, Kondor, and an eccentric chick named Mi find themselves catapulted from the safe confines of Birdabad into the gnashing teeth of the Horror. Frightened, bewildered, and harboring mutual animosity, this mismatched troupe forms an uneasy pact with an enigmatic guide. This guide, promising them a safe journey home in exchange for help reaching the Sun, is, unbeknownst to all but Hupu, blind. Their journey, fraught with peril and hilarity, takes them from a sprawling metropolis to the fiery peak of a volcano, down glacial slopes, and across a desolate sea, with the Horror always in relentless pursuit. Amidst their adventures, they lie, betray, and forsake each other, while the looming terror of the Horror compels them to confront their fears. Their path, fraught with trickery and treachery, ultimately forces them to unite, leading to a soaring and unexpected conclusion that breaks free from their feathered fears.
