'Waar de vogelstjes hoesten' is a rare, satirical fable presented as a fantasy musical. The film tells the surreal love story of a flower girl and a scarecrow who leave their rural home for the big city. Upon arrival, they quickly become corrupted by industrial capitalism and victims of their own growing greed. Featuring unique choreography by Lydia Chagoll, this experimental production serves as a powerful artistic critique. It explicitly warns against the degradation of the environment and the spiritual pollution of modern human society.
Waar de vogeltjes hoesten (1974) is a fantasy film directed by Frans Buyens, released on January 1, 1974 with a runtime of 1h 30m. It stars Joris Collet, Walter Cornelis, Eva Kant and Klaus Jürgen Kramer.
