Summary:
"Voutes" is a film that travels to Perama, a working-class district of Piraeus, following Panagiotis and Fotis. The two spend much of their free time on the roof of their house, where they have their dovecotes. They are both members of the "Association of Friends of Pigeons of Perama", which they have formed together with other pigeons in the city.
The film observes their preoccupation with pigeons, records their narratives, presents their relationship with the other pigeons and wanders with them in the city.
