As the harsh northern winter approaches, Pinocha sets off on a southbound migration spanning thousands of kilometers. This journey is not merely an escape from the cold—it is a rite of survival. He flies across raging seas and treacherous wilderness. He witnesses companions fall to predators and confronts the despair of utter exhaustion. At last, he arrives at a vibrant southern island—Taiwan. Along Taiwan’s coastline, Pinocha embarks on a quest to find the “mysterious bird”—a legendary creature rarely seen and believed to embody the ultimate freedom and mystery of the natural world.
