Set during the Spanish Civil War, Pájaros de papel is an emotional and tender story of friendship and survival in desperate times. Musician Jorge del Pino, ventriloquist Enrique Corgo, singer Rocío Moliner and an orphan named Miguel are united by fate and kept together by their daily struggles to get by and escape the suffering that surrounds them. With a combination of joyful moments and deeply emotional performances from an excellent cast, Pájaros de papel is an inspiring film that will melt the hardest of hearts.

REVIEWS
“Capable of making you smile or bringing a tear to your eye with the same intensity. An instant classic.” Juan José Campanella, Academy Award Winner
“Origami for the heart.” Jordi Costa, EL PAIS
“Three’s an inner force that brings everything together and nuances every detail, every gesture and every shot with a powerful light no
viewer can escape.” Alumdena Grandes, EL PAIS
“Paper Birds is an atypical and very sincere film.” Nuria Vidal, FOTOGRAMAS
“Arias has not been so memorable on a movie screen in years, while 11-year-old Príncep (“The Orphanage”) acquits himself superbly in a
central role.” Jonathan Holland, VARIETY
