For seven days and nights, the filmmaker and his five-year-old daughter observe a pigeon nesting on the intertwined electrical wires in front of their balcony. The loving intimacy between father and daughter prompts conversations about the relationship between people and nature, the need and power of nature to constantly adapt to humans and the significance of filmmaking.
