The main characters of Two Birds are a boy (unnamed) and a girl (Lara), both in their early-to-mid-teens. In the opening scene, they are shown shyly exchanging flirtatious glances, while out walking with another boy and girl, who are in a romantic relationship. In a private moment, the male member of this couple urges the boy to talk to the girl, telling him that Lara is strongly attracted to him and berating him for being timid. However, the boy's shyness prevents him from making advances.
