Fly Away Home

Directed by

After her mother dies, a 13-year-old girl goes to live with her father on an isolated farm in Canada where she finds an abandoned nest of wild geese. She places the eggs in a rudimentary incubator, the eggs hatch, and she becomes the goslings’ step-mother. To show them their migration route south, she takes them on an ultralight plane in an adventurous flight from Canada to Florida. The following spring the geese will know how to find their way back home.
