Prepovedano hranjenje golobov / Do Not Feed the Pigeons

Antonin Niclass (NFTS)
2021, Združeno Kraljestvo, 8'40''

Na žalostni avtobusni postaji, ki je kot vsaka druga, je ura dve zjutraj. Peščica utrujenih in osamljenih potnikov čaka na zadnji avtobus. Golobom, ki tu prebivajo, nekako uspe za lep trenutek ustvariti med njimi čarobno povezavo.

It’s 2 am in a sad coach station like any other. A collection of tired and lonely travelers are waiting for the last coach. Somehow, the resident pigeons manage to create a magical connection between them for a beautiful instant.
