The frames above come from the opening of the film, when the privileged young woman, still recovering from a nervous breakdown, goes to her husband’s factory, with her little son in tow, seemingly to commune with the surrounding polluted environment. After explaining adaptation to her son, she develops a sudden need for a worker’s half eaten sandwich, which she buys from him, well above its cost. (It’s probably derived from a similar incident in Huysman’s À rebours.)
Actually the story of the wise birds comes at the end of the film, almost looping back to the beginning, though it shows an evolution for the birds and the heroine. I misremembered it.
