Sinopsis:
BEK is a touching and beautifully drawn animated tale about a girl who is born with wings instead of arms and a beak where a mouth should be.
Hated by her father, she is driven from home and ends up joining the circus as a freak attraction.
Adopted by a not-too-bright but friendly drunken clown she settles into her niche as a circus performer.
As time goes by, she longs to be a real woman, a human, but there is no place for such a bird-creature in the world outside the circus.
So, she creates her own fantasy world as she dreams about the life of a normal young woman, somewhere far away from the circus.
