salzburg airport, filmed from the studio. A crow is sitting on a light tower surveying the area by jerkily and attentively turning its head; a second crow joins it briefly and disappears again. Crow 1 cleans its feathers. Change of scene – 7 days later in Chabenet. Freshly mown fields, scorched trees, high electricity masts. A large colony of crows forms at the site, restless and constantly changing places. Then peace returns, the colony retires to the dead tops of trees and prepares to fly away.
