★Avg. rating

One night in downtown Los Angeles, a Chinese man suddenly hears the call of the Indian cuckoo he remembers from childhood. Following the elusive sound, he slips into a dream in which a hundred species of birds long gone from this place sing open the history of the land, and a past long lost and buried deep in his soul.
