DAY OF THE SPARROW (Philip Scheffner, D 2010) is a political nature film in which the border between war and peace is dissolved. On November 14, 2005, a sparrow is shot after having toppled 23,000 dominos in the Dutch town of Leeuwarden. In Kabul, a German soldier is killed in a suicide attack. The juxtaposition of these headlines prompted the director to search for war using the methods of ornithology. In Germany, not Afghanistan. For this is where the question arises: Are we living in peace or are we at war?
