Coo-Coo 043 (MIFFEST)

The sound of wings reverberates through the air. In the murky half-light, race pigeon 043 has finally returned after seven years. 043 wasn`t the only one that went missing seven years ago; the other was Pigeon Master Ching`s son, Shih, whose disappearance remains the irreparable wound in Ching`s heart. The family`s barely-maintained peace is shattered by 043`s return, as Ching`s daughter, Lulu, brings a beaten-up boy named Tig back home. Ching begins to see shades of Shih in Tig. After all, breeding pigeons with his son was his biggest wish. But wild pigeons can`t change their ways. Lulu leaves abruptly and doesn`t return. Ching`s wife, Ming, stealthily begins legal proceedings to declare Shih deceased. Grandpa`s death is the last straw that breaks this family`s back.
