The Swallow
Lasta, Serbia, 2007, 17 min, Personal View
The old man found a swallow, fallen out of its nest, and made up his mind to raise it. Three times a day he would feed it with worms from over-ripe cherries. A few months later, the swallow became so bound to the old man that it stood on his shoulder while he was walking through the village, or it would fly down to his astrakhan cap while he was digging his corn. Autumn arrived and the old man became frightened that the swallow would not fly to the South because of its devoted love for him. He decided to save money and to take the swallow to the seaside...
