John sees an extraordinary sight: Titi his parakeet opening the door to own his cage, all by himself! Yet the bird doesn’t fly away. While John tries to understand why, he is swept away into a magical world where Titi can reveal his weaknesses and fears, and John can help him overcome them. As they travel together across breathtaking landscapes, their friendship grows, and they learn that saying goodbye is not a final farewell.
