For Valentina, the spoiled princess, it's a given that she can have any bird she desires - until the day she longs for a talking bird. Many heads must roll before one arrives who is wiser than all those before and demands a promise from her. Castagnoli's dramatically poetic fairy tale captivates from the very beginning in dialogue with the intense imagery of Carll Cneut. A legend of power and obsession, of change and patience, that will linger in everyone's memory for a long time.
