The Conference of the Birds

In an anonymous football club, where everything is shrouded in a whiff of prestige and power yet where nothing is entirely clear, the sudden death of the coach leaves a void no one knows how to fill. The players walk along silent corridors and take part in opaque meetings and decisions that feel monumental even though their true purpose is never revealed. Hints of million-dollar contracts, hands-off owners, foreign magnates of unspecified precedence, signs of a globalized world in which every gesture speaks louder than any word. Against a backdrop of silence, murmurs, unease and a humanity that only briefly rears its head, the team keeps moving forward as if searching for something that we can never see, trapped in an atmosphere of waiting that cancels out everything else.
