This is the story of two people, one skilled in technology but out of his depth socially in an exotic location; the other uneducated but resourceful and patient when fate is cruel. They are not epic hero and flawless lady but Bob finds courage to make an alliance with the hill men and fight the local mafia when his project is threatened and he is honourable enough to feel remorse and try to make amends when he misuses a poor local girl. It is about the building of a bridge linking two banks of a river, and about the building of a loving relationship between people from different cultures, with the help of sometimes mischievous spirits, but the final result is dictated by the vengeful nature of the birds.
