A father-daughter share a moment of joy as they bond over the sounds, feathers, and sketches of the mythical bird roc. However, this moment of happiness is extremely fleeting as the narrative swiftly moves to the outdoors, away from the confines of safety and domestic bliss, to now present only the man.
Without his daughter by his side, and her necklace around his neck, he is now presented to the viewer in the all-black garb of mourning. And yet, irrespective of the circumstance, or perhaps precisely because of it, his pursuit continues. No matter the cost to him, he still tracks down the humongous creature in an attempt to assuage his own grief.
Staying fully devoid of dialogue, the film presents a sincere story of a man who has known a tragic loss, and now, he will go to any lengths to seek the formidable goal, and eventually achieve it. The film shares all of this while tightly controlling its resources and the predominantly sole performance, ensuring that all its intentions are communicated with clarity and impact. It would be interesting to interact with more storytelling endeavors in the same vein in the future.
