La Vielle Dame et les pigeons

Imagine sitting and being fed with delicious tidbits just like the lazy pigeons who are brought sweets from the best bakery every day by an old lady. What a life that would be! Especially when you are a scrawny and poor Parisian patrolman with an empty stomach, such a vision can enchant you. You desire this so much that you simply become a pigeon and you peck and peck until you can barely move. But what if a cat suddenly appears, a cat for whom such a fat, gawky pigeon is an easy prey? A short metaphorical film by famous Canadian animator, Sylvain Chomet (the creator of such critically praised films as The Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist) is just as enchantingly beautiful as it is merciless and distressing.
