Plot.
Melody teaches music at a centre for cancerous children. The thirty children are having a party at the end of autumn and ask Melody to compose a piece using the sounds of thirty different birds. She goes to her home village to record the birdsong and is helped by the mute caretaker of the family home, Mango. When they find just 20 birds, Mango makes Melody understand that only the old village singer knows where the other birds are, but bird hunters have forced him out of the village. Melody sets out to find both - him and the missing birds.

Wiki.
Melody (Persian: ملودی; Tajik: Мелодия, romanized: Melodiya) is a 2023 Tajikistani-Iranian drama film written, directed, produced and edited by Behrouz Sebt Rasoul. The film follows a music teacher, Melody who wants to compose a heartfelt piece for children fighting cancer, using the sound of 30 birds.
The film was twice selected as the Tajikistan entry for the Best International Feature Film, at the 96th and 97th Academy Awards. In 2023, the film did not appear on the final list because it was not submit on time; one year later the country officially submitted the film again, which was ultimately not nominated.
