Les oiseaux sont faux

Hervé is a man in his mid-fifties, tinkering in the garage of his suburban home. Leading a solitary life, he devotes most of his time to painstakingly building up a collection of bird calls. And when he's not communicating with the birds, or at a distance with his beloved niece, a bioacoustics student, by exchanging voice messages, it's on his computer screen that he multiplies the tabs redirecting him to social networks and information sites, from which emerges one forum in particular: the "aposibilaphiles community", with whom he shares his recordings of bird imitations.

But little by little, the feeling of isolation grows: anonymous comments on the forum resonate with the emergence of uncertainty within Hervé's daily life. Lassitude or loss of meaning? The obvious is wavering: the comfortable garage begins to shake. As divergent interpretations of the world become deafening, and nature around him falls silent, the character's identity fractures, calling into question the most intimate of things: could the birds be wrong?
