Father, son, 20 eggs of endangered birds, and that's where the story begins.
Thomas, 14, is the most common child/young person in reality: he goes to bed late every night and gets up late every day. He holds his mobile phone all day long. Without wifi, he is in a state of death. He lives with his mother and is sent to spend the summer holidays with his divorced father.
Unlike his urban white-collar mother, he was an ornithologist who devoted his life to protecting birds. He built a house in a bird - populated wetland in France and was ready to carry out a great plan. He plans to hatch the eggs of 20 endangered birds, make them think he is their parents, and then drive them inside the Arctic Circle to lead their migration back to France in an ultralight aircraft, so they can avoid extinction on a route already disrupted by human activity.
At first, the project was dismissed as a whimsical idea by the museum and cancelled, and the son showed no interest in it. The father did not force him to take part in any activities, but gradually his passion for protecting birds and nature infected his son. The father was always eloquent about the birds, and he took pains to breed them for the success of his plan, to make them believe that, unlike other humans, he would teach them about life, just like the father bird. When the son saw the birds hatched under the careful care of his father, he began to open his heart to them and chose names for them. From then on, he put down the phone and walked into his father's world and a great cause.
Most humans are indifferent, contemptuous, and disapproving of what they do not understand, and it is useless to try to persuade them to change. But if you keep doing what you believe in and love, you will change the people around you, and when you achieve something, more people will follow you and admire you, as if you hadn't sneered at it before. In the beautiful nature, the father and son fly the small plane and the birds freely, if the support of the museum, the permission of the public sector and the attention of the community, it will not happen.
