TITO AND THE BIRDS

Tito and the Birds is a film about a little boy and his journey to save the world from a “fright epidemic” in which people start to get sick if they are suddenly scared. Tito is a shy 10 year old kid living a normal life, hanging with his two best friends, struggling with the popular kids at school and his emotionally unstable mother at home. After the fright epidemic breaks, Tito sets out on a search for the antidote. He finds out that the cure is somehow related to his father’s research – which was focused on the songs birds sing. His father is an inventor who had to leave home when he was 6 years old – something that we see in the beginning of the movie. Tito’s search for the antidote indirectly becomes a search for his missing father and for his own identity. Part action part drama, Tito’s journey is at once an uplifting and insightful adventure about a boy fighting to find out what is right and to learn how to overcome his own fears.
