The living falcons are the first guardians of the history of the United Arab Sites. They coexist with their effigies friends and foes, sorted in glass cabinets the most magnificent forms. All together, humans and falcons observe the camera, listen to poetry and collaborate with scientists and artists across time and space. This film is inspired by the museum scene  in Chris Marker's science-fiction featurette La Jetée (1962) filmed at the Galerie De Paléontologie et D'Anatomie Comparée du Muséum National D'Histoire Naturelle (The Gallery of Paleontology and Comparative Anatomy at the French National Museum of Natural History)
