SYNOPSIS

Esa Nissi's documentary film about the symbiosis of man and the crow. A story about a peasant crow that tries to adapt to modern citylife.

Winter is coming amd the nature of the countryside fails to provide enough nutrition to the crow. Fosterling of the countryside has to change it's lifestyle radically, migration to overwinter lies ahead. Luckily, unlike it's forefathers, the crow doesn't have to go through the moving flight to middle europe, the nearest city provides the means to winter. Could the swollen urbanized man help?

"Crow" tells how the city community created by man embraces a migrant one autumn day.
