Obedience to gravity is the biggest sin

                                              Simone Weil

Angry Birds is a Finnish mobile game in which birds battle pigs… Close your eyes and you can hear them—the black-throated loon, the raven. They have flown through the darkness from the Land of a Thousand Lakes to give voice to their rage. Now they are here-the messengers of vengeance.
For in the heart of the oppressed, a fire lies smouldering-one that will consume us all.

Five forgotten exchange students from Finland have arrived to claim retribution, to scramble for work, to demand justice. Through mythology, swan maidens, battle chants, dove women, and theatrical duels, they take the audience on a journey through minority experience and seething anger-beyond the Finland ferries, across the heavens, and, if all goes well, into the freedom of wings.

Parempi kymmenen lintua metsässä kuin yksi kädessä.
