Ray Lowden keeps seventy-two large birds of prey, five deer and some wallabies at his place in Northumberland, England. He’s had ten days off in twelve years and loves what he does. The film is a little homage to his variously coy, imperious, curious, stubborn and comic raptor menagerie.

A vivid colour image of a street scene in Guatemala shot on analogue film. A woman in a red and pink patterned clothing is holding a large basket of pink, red, and yellow flowers on her head and has her other arm around the shoulder of a young child. In the background an older woman is wearing a green and white check shawl and is looking across the road. The building walls are painted blue. A handdrawn symbol in white is overlaid the centre of the photographic image. This is a vever, a symbolic drawing used in Haitian Voodoo to invoke a Loa, or god.
