BIRDLAND

A FILM BY LEILA KILANI

On the hills of Tangier, in the midst of the forest stands a decrepit house: La Mansouria. Lina lives there with her father Anis, her grandmother Amina, and the “good” Chinwiya. The father and the daughter have a passion: birds. It's summer. Amina has agreed to organize a wedding for the family. Amina hidden purpose is to push her family to accept a real estate offer that will make them all billionaires. Anis refuses to sell. Worse: he renounces his right to property. He wants to make his share - an eternity donation in the form of a birds refuge. And suddenly, the tide turns: A first fire, the origin of which is unknown, starts in the hills. It’s raining birds on the forest...
