Le Prisonnier d'Alcatraz

You find yourself locked in a cell so small the light feels borrowed. Then one day a sparrow falls at your feet and you cradle it like a secret. Before long you're raising birds that know your voice better than the guards do. The warden watches as your cages grow louder than his prison ever was.
