Ostrich

  • Marie Kenov

Every day, a sparrow is bombarded with images of ostriches: on billboards, in advertisements, on his smartphone. The ostrich’s long neck, perfect gaze, and muscular legs have captivated him – he wants to be just like that. Through rigorous leg workouts, visits to the neck-stretching studio, and makeup tutorials, he comes very close to his goal. When a real ostrich comes to town one day and the sparrow meets his idol in person, he realizes something.

A sparrow is walking along the street, looking at his cell phone. Next to him, posters are being put up announcing a visit by an ostrich..
