Ostrich

A sparrow obsessed with becoming an ostrich goes to great lengths to transform itself, until it finally meets one in real life.
Day in and day out, a sparrow sees images of ostriches everywhere: on posters, in advertisements, and on its smartphone. Fascinated by their long necks, dazzling eyes and strong legs, the little bird wants to be just like them. It starts training its legs at the gym, follows make-up tutorials, and even visits a neck-stretching studio. But when a real ostrich comes to town and the sparrow finally meets its idol, it realises that becoming someone else is not so simple after all.
