Starlings captured in favor of a re-filming appear in turns particles, insects, crowds or picture grain. They swirl, sometimes leaving the emergence of a shape, other times looking like they evaporate into the mist. They make themselves echo of the soundtrack, where a poem announce the history of Noah's drunkenness after which one of his son, Cham is cursed, his descendance condemned to slavery.
