The pigeon is probably fake, says the five-year-old daughter of Eugenio Polgovsky. Perhaps it’s a robot. Why else would a pigeon sit so still on that nest? For seven days and nights, Polgovsky filmed the bird from his second floor apartment. Together with daughter Mile, he watches life go by.

Polgovsky’s sister, Mara, found this material after Eugenio died suddenly, aged 40. She carefully edited it into a film, that is both his and hers. A philosophical, observational documentary that ponders the way nature is forced to adapt to the ever expanding human infrastructure.
