What Is Pigeons in the Square About?

The premise of Pigeons in the Square without spoilers.

In a Paris park, an enthusiastic grandfather teaches children about pigeons, noting their eyes, wings, tail, colors and the many varieties. He has them mimic the birds’ walk, describes courtship rituals and feeding habits, and likens a scramble for a hard seed to a soccer match. Ends with footage of pigeons taking off, landing and flying.
