The animated film by Croatian artist Marko Tadic Borne By The Birds (2013) is the story of a 300 hundred year old man and his travels throughout the world through the ages. Narrated by a sage-looking story teller beside a bonfire in an industrial estate, the protagonist is represented by a black blob-like character childishly drawn onto old postcards of historic places and turned into a stop-motion animated film.

The character who, at times looks like a bird and at other times looks like a muslim woman in a full niqab dress or a priest in black attire, flows in and out of each scene transforming into various objects for a brief moment, before transforming again into other more mobile forms and leaving.
