And his production was in charge of Peter Fernandes Duarte, former film student of the Higher School of Theatre and Cinema.

Between the fiction and the documentary, "The metamorphosis of birds" summons the family ties of a father and a daughter-the director-, rescuing the past that unites them, through the relationship of the paternal grandfathers of Catherine Vasconcelos and in particular of the grandmother Beatriz, who she never knew.
