Tokyo : 40 000 crows. During the last ten years, crows came in town from Japanese mountains and now live in the heart of the megalopolis. These birds are perfectly adapted to the urban life. Their behaviour changed a lot and their intelligence grew.

"Tokyo crows" is a documentary about birds but also a discovery film about a fabulous paradoxical town :Tokyo. What are the relations between crows and Tokyo residents? Why these country birds are living in town, so far from nature?
"Tokyo crows" gives a scientific view about environmental problems and has the ambition to contemplate the everyday life in Tokyo. Japanese people are very close to nature and developed funny relationships with the jungle crows. The film wants to show people and crows cohabitation in Tokyo urban jungle.
