Overview

A pigeon can return to its loft no matter where it's released, traveling distances of up to 700 km in a single day. Throughout the country, pigeon racing brings together people from all walks of life: veterinarians, judges, dentists, shopkeepers, journalists. This is the case for Américo, owner of a grill restaurant that's only open Monday through Friday. He's closed on weekends: his priority is the pigeons.
