A little orphan survives together with an old man, earning money by selling caught songbirds. They are happy with their freedom, despite poverty. Forest rustles and the rumble of a seething river, a starry night under grandfather's conversation, city people, and the bustle of hot places placing the child in unexpectedly dramatic circumstances. Symbols and allegories begin to appear through the haze of an ironic fairy tale, between the birds trapped in a cage and a prisoner trapped in a cell for nothing. The childhood joys are cut short by separation, turning around for the boy with the same bondage that had deprived the old man recently. In the despair of loneliness, the child is saved by a naive faith in the heavenly patronage of a happy star. This is a story of the inescapable longing of a child, from which there is no salvation other than heavenly miracles.
