A house full of stuffed birds and ghostly presences. A sudden and accidental family reunion between two brothers, a sister who died prematurely and a guest. With actors Emiliano Masala, Petra Valentini and Francesco Villano, Uccellini conveys the presence and the absence of humans (dead and alive) and animals (alive and dead). A confrontation of the fears that are inherent in our actions, the intrigues and traps that we weave and into which we, ourselves, fall.
