Paloma al aire

The remote-controlled desire
The pigeon fancier invests time, money and hopes in his pigeons. He breeds them, names them, trains them and has faith in them. When the day of the competition arrives, he goes with the excitement and uncertainty of a child. Pigeon racing is a sport with rules and referees. Pigeons can be worth thousands of euros and bets involve a lot of money. However, there is something childlike about the fascination with birds; the man holding
a trembling bird in his hand has the same look he had when he was 10 years old.
