Paper Birds (Spanish; Castilian: Pájaros de papel) is a 2010 Spanish drama film directed by Emilio Aragón Álvarez, starring Imanol Arias.[1] The film tells the story of a group of vaudeville artists in the hard times after the Spanish Civil War.
Jorge and Enrique are two performers in post-Civil War Spain who adopt an orphan child called Miguel. With a variety company that travels around the country, Jorge and Enrique see the horrors left by the war, while Nationalists watch Jorge and the rest of the company, suspecting that some of them collaborate with the Republicans opposing Franco's regime.
