Ozogoche
IDFA Bertha Fund
Logline
The Cuvivi bird migrates from North America to the Ecuadorian highlands. They dive into the Ozogoche Lakes, ending their journey in a collective suicide. The locals await the flock with rituals/celebrations, while they linger for the return of their loved ones who migrated in the opposite direction.
