It is dawn in a dreamlike, surrealistic city evoking New York. Its design is inspired by the twenties' Art Deco style. The city is constantly smothered under a heavily clouded sky. An appearance of the sun is a very rare occurence in this world. Our attention is drawn to a magnificent skyscraper, a replica of the Chrysler Building. A cornice is then revealed, to which two metallic eagle heads are attached, staring invariably in the distance with all the solemnity of living sentinels . . .The statues then take life, as they awake suddenly and exchange tender loving gestures with one another: they form a couple.

In the horizon, light just above them. As his partner weakens more and more under the “weight”of the light, the other eagle pulls out a metallic wing from the building’s wall, thus creating an explosion of mortar and bricks.The eagle then spreds this newly discovered limb above its beloved partner, casting a protective shadow over it.The unscathed eagle attempts to extract its whole body from the buildings’s structure but to no avail: to do so would simply go against its nature.
The eagle experiences growing difficulties in keeping its wing spread above its suffering partner: this new limb is too heavy. Exhausted, the protecting eagle must let its wing fall back. The light beam again strikes its partner now lying unconscious.The end is near, happening right before the spared eagle's eyes, as it gazes helplessly.
Some spirited little shadows start to move nervously among the steel beams left unconvered by the extraction of the eagle’s wing. A metallic eaglet suddenly comes out and starts ascending towards the sky. Another follows it, then a third and then up to a dozen of them start to fly above the Chrysler Building, totally unaffected by the ray of light. The spared eagle is stunned by the discovery of this progney, as it emerges from the Chrysler Building.
