Tito e os Pássaros

Tito loves helping his scientist dad, Rufus, with his inventions; Tito's mom, though, always a skeptic, worries that something will go terribly wrong while the two are experimenting. When Rufus's latest invention, a machine that can understand birds, starts smoking and sparking, Tito is injured and his mom decides that, for Tito's safety, they should live apart. Years later, people start falling ill and the epidemic begins to spread: the cause, Tito determines, is fear. Recalling his father's research, Tito knows that the cure must be in understanding birdsong. In order to save others, Tito must resist falling victim to his own fear. Relying on his friends, Sarah and Buiú, he sets out to find his father and complete the research before it's too late. (Toronto International Film Festival)
