An owl encounters a dove in a twilight rift, entering territory where it knows it doesn't belong. In this unfamiliar universe of sound/image, two worlds always seem to collide: the hiss of a cassette tape/walker, the voodoo ritual/new morning, and the funeral/fisherman's boat. Loosely inspired by a Haitian fable of the same name, "The Owl's Tale" discreetly traces a small chapter of Mackenson, a Haitian immigrant who finds himself in the post-Haitian-immigration-wave social context of contemporary Brazil.
