Cardilli addolorati

Through the reports of witnesses, the singing of birds and people, Cardilli addolorati tells the story of an extraordinary, almost magical, world nestling on the edge of ordinary everyday reality in the south of Italy. The human and social reality captured by this documentary is a portrait of an influential though marginal part of life in the Campania Region. It deals with the problem of “fanatic” dealers, breeders and poachers of wild birds for “domestic use”.
