The dramatic shifts in tone become even more pronounced with the second film's slow-tempo opening chapter about an old man on the lam. In 'The Tears of the Judge', a public trial becomes a mockery, with the testimony implicating everyone in attendance. The Desolate One ends on an exhilarating note, with a supremely entertaining story about a dog named Dixie who's passed between owners, familiarising us with the inhabitants of a working-class apartment building.

Across three distinct segments, the narrative is carried by a woman who becomes a migratory bird, bridging time and continents, examining the importance of preserving the traditions and ancestral knowledge of the Amerindian culture.
