In the skies of Rio, a band of pigeons must unite to survive a ruthless falcon’s Tyranny, proving that even the smallest wings can spark a revolution.

SYNOPSIS:

The Pigeon revolution

Animation limited series

Comedy/adventure

In the story, Thomaz, a young, idealistic, and skilled pigeon, dreams of soaring high alongside frigatebirds and other birds that rule the sky. He wants to inspire other pigeons to claim their place up there, but no one understands why—on the ground, they have everything they need, and his obsession seems like a delusion of grandeur. His friends try to guide him in opposite ways: Clemente, clumsy yet loyal, uses humor to warn him about the dangers of ambition, while Roscharque, an enigmatic and cynical pigeon, distrusts even humans (knowing that a pellet gun shot killed Thomaz’s father).

Rosa, a pigeon as skilled as Thomaz, prefers the safety of the ground. To her, pigeons are prey in a brutal ecosystem and must organize, not dream. Despite her feelings for Thomaz, she doesn’t understand his fixation with the sky. In his search, Thomaz turns to Blanca, a spiritualist pigeon with clipped wings who preaches the Opombonopombo technique—gratitude and positive visualization. However, the technique fails when Thomaz is attacked by Gringo, a sadistic peregrine falcon who hunts not for hunger, but for the pleasure of "turning hope into despair."

As Thomaz clings to illusions of greatness, Rosa mobilizes the pigeons against real threats. When a hungry pelican nearly devours Thomaz, it is Rosa—alongside Clemente and Roscharque—who leads an improvised counterattack, even using an abandoned kite string coated with glass. The feat revolutionizes the community: for the first time, pigeons see that they can fight back.

Frustrated at not being the hero, Thomaz dives deeper into his obsession. Meanwhile, Rosa, discovering her true calling as a leader, establishes protection networks and warning systems. Enraged by the "rebellion," Gringo allies with seagulls and other predators to crush the resistance. Meanwhile, Roscharque operates in the shadows—sabotaging a human shooter and exposing the hypocrisy of the "natural order."

In the decisive moment, Thomaz attempts a deal with Gringo: if he flies to the frigatebirds, the falcon will spare the pigeons. It’s a trap. Gringo plans a massacre during the flight, but Rosa, warned by a vengeful yellow-bellied flycatcher, leads a collective uprising. As Thomaz is humiliated by the frigatebirds—who reject him as an "intruder"—pigeons, doves, and even capybaras unite to defeat Gringo in a chaotic battle through the streets of Rio.

Wounded, Thomaz is saved not by heroism but by an unlikely act—a human rescues him, proving that even the most dangerous species is capable of compassion. Upon returning, he finds a transformed community: Rosa is now a respected leader, Clemente has become a storyteller, and Roscharque, an anti-human strategist. However, the victory is not final.

The story of the Pigeon Revolution spreads across the world, inspiring other pigeons to rise up against their oppressors, I mean predators.
