Jailbirds

Synopsis

Felix, the prisoner, is always happy. He was sentenced to life in prison, but after repenting, Felix seems to have reached a state of peace. However, for the warden, the prisoners are there to serve their sentence. In order to overcome the pain, to atone, Felix must also endure his time like everyone else. That’s the rule. In the meantime, every night Felix’s eyes crawl out of his body and spread their wings like bees, and he travels the world freely wherever he wants. In his cell, Felix is a free man.
