A wandering hoopoe discovers that not all eyes see the world the same way. When he takes shelter in a tree of owls, he learns that his love for daylight, sunshine, and flight clashes with their dark, night-bound truths. What begins as gratitude turns into fear as the owls brand him “lost” for seeing beauty in the day. To survive, he must choose between pretending blindness and staying true to his vision. A lyrical fable about conformity, courage, and the cost of seeing the world differently
