A fisherman becomes a scarecrow to save his livelihood, and the line between disguise and identity dissolves so quietly you don't notice it happening until he can't take it off. The film trusts silence and stillness to do what most movies need dialogue and music to accomplish. It's a parable about labor, loneliness, and what it costs to protect something when you have nothing left but your own body to offer. The birds don't care who you pretend to be. Neither does the work.
Birds keep eating large amounts of fish, and a fisherman decides he has had enough. His plan to get rid of them is to disguise himself as a scarecrow. The film is a single-episode movie built around that one simple premise: a man, a costume, and the hungry birds he wants gone.
