Birds fly, hunters kill. But here we see a bird that is not like other birds and cannot fly. At the same time, the boy is much like his father-hunter. And he is being prepared to become a hunter. However, it does not seem that he is very pleased with his fate and this bird suddenly appears. It was not like the others. The bird was strange and the boy wanted to get away from it. But they met again. He did not want to kill it, but did not want it to remain. The boy tried to drive it away, but it did not leave. It is as if he were trying to escape from himself. You cannot escape from yourself and sooner or later you will have to decide whether to follow your fate or not. He fed it, although before that he drove the duck away from food. The bird wanted to make friends, but the boy decided to send it to its kind. People live with people, birds with birds. It seems he understood that the bird most likely will not survive. A bird will die if it cannot fly, just as a hunter will die if he cannot kill. Is there any hope that the bird is not dead? The frame ends at the last moment and we are not shown what happened to it. If it survived - it would mean that birds do not need to be able to fly and fate does not depend on who you were born. And if it died, everything would remain as before and the boy has no choice but to start killing birds, which he did. It seems that the author is inclined to the second option. Because this bird looks too unnatural, as if it should not exist in nature. And at the end we see a frame in which there is only a boy, as if no bird really existed.

I just watched this short film, and I'm like whattt
First, the animation makes me feel sad and confuse, simething fresh and scary, pretty goog
Second, the concept behind this film is amazing, it has a lot of meanings. One, and my favorite, is that way the child plays and helps the animal, like making a friend, and later, in the last scene, the child acts like his father, but in an innocent form.
Jérémy Clapin is a master, and his films are very, very wonderful

I think, there are two messages, one is that the kid didn't want to kill the bird before because it wasn't a proper prey, it's a bird that cannot fly, so he prepared it for be a proper bird, and a proper prey. The second is, that while the boy is learning to hunt, it didn't like it, and by the time he help the bird to become a real bird (not with the best mood for the kid, but still, put effort to save it), the boy learn, no to hunt but to heal, finally, when te kid down the stick, he choice to no become a hunter. A least I feel there is these two paths.

I was shook when he let the creature back into the forest but held up a branch to imitate a gun and shoot it

[@pommedapi3847]

yes me too. It changed the whole thing to the worst. The beauty of innocence of an animal, as ugly or beautiful it is, still remains.

Après avoir regardé cet courte animation, j'ai un peu déprimé, mais je l'aime quand même.
Avant, le garçon n'a pas encore préparé comme un chasseur, il a regardé les canards sauvages que son père avait tués, mais il n'a montré ni passion ni haine. En tout cas, il a continué d'apprendre à être un chasseur...Du coup, quand il a trouvé la créature bizarre, il ne l'a pas tuée immédiatement...Il l'a décoré comme un canard sauvage et a fait le courir dans le champ ( comme un canard ), et puis, il a soulevé « son fusil de chasse »...Qu'il veuille ou non, il deviendra peut-être un chasseur, et à la prochaine fois, il tuera la créature avec un vrai fusil de chasse.

Yeah I don't get it. I liked the art. I liked the innocence of the child to "help" the creature yet still with the mindset of his father to shoot and kill.
But I definitely found no substance in this film. A bit of a back story from the director would be great.
