The Song of Sparrows is a simple film about Karim, an uncomplicated man who is a caretaker of ostriches on a farm. One day, one of the birds escapes and Karim is fired. He rides his motorbike to the city in order to get his daughter's hearing aid repaired. Someone mistakes him for a taxi, and he discovers a new way to make money. The problem is that the passengers are mostly rude and nasty to the good natured guy, and it sours his outlook on humanity.
He also becomes a pack rat, picking up all kinds of junk on his daily travels on the "taxi" bike. The stuff piles up, much to the consternation of his wife. He fights with the neighbor over an old, used door that they have borrowed, demanding it back. He loses his temper, and during a rampage, breaks his foot. He must then rely on the kindness of others because he is bound to a bed while his leg heals. The Song of Sparrows is a beautiful movie with excellent performances all around.
