PAPER BIRDS is the tale of a group of Voudeville performers caught in a war that has taken away everything they had and left them starving. Musician Jorge del Pino, ventriloquist Enrique Corgo, singer Rocio Moliner and an orphan named Miguel make up an unlikely family of lost souls, struggling to get by one day at a time, sharing their joys and sorrows and their only escape from the misery around them: their music. As it turns out, when bread is scarce, applause can really hit the spot.
Living among the victorious and the vanquished, they`re too busy looking for something to eat and a bed to sleep in to worry about making it big. But right away they are put to the test and forced to make decisions that will place their lives in jeopardy.
At a time filled with intrigue and dangers that leave them no choice but to take sides and put themselves in harm´s way, they do the best they can to find a place to sleep where they won`t be afraid. Wherever that may be.
