A starving gendarme, gaunt from hunger, resorts to snatching discarded snacks from plump American tourists. One day he watches an elderly woman scattering grain to feed pigeons, and in sheer desperation concocts the outlandish scheme of disguising himself as a pigeon to join the flock and secure a meal. In this darkly comic vignette, his absurd plan underscores the extremes he’ll go to survive.
