Every day as revenge, birds attack a retired Russian general, who once sacrificed all the birds in Moscow to save his country. By chance, the general crosses paths with an extraordinary dog, and the two of them proceed to wage a delicate battle. When the city's dogs try to liberate all caged birds, the general intervenes in what will be his most noble struggle.
