Next Flight Home
Next Flight Home is a short film that follows a pigeon as he makes the biggest decision of his life. At the beginning of the story, he has everything a pigeon could ever want - a buffet of forgotten street food, a cozy pigeon apartment in the city, and pigeon friends to talk and poop with. But when he meets a beautiful dove one day on the street, he realizes how much better and more exciting his life is with her. As he is following her out of the city, he stops, unwilling to give up the life he has built for himself after such a short time together. However, he soon realizes the monotony and loneliness of his life in the city and goes back to look for her again. When they reconnect for a second time, the pigeon doesn't hesitate - leaving the city behind him, and following the dove to wherever their life outside of the city will take them.
Please enjoy, Next Flight Home.
