A girl (Anna Paquin) loses her mother in a car crash and goes to live with her inventor father (Jeff Daniels) in rural Canada. After some of his land is bulldozed by developers, Amy rescues several abandoned goose eggs and nurtures the geese to adulthood. Ultimately, she uses a microlight plane to teach the birds to migrate south.
Remarkably, this is based on true events.
It’s an ecological drama that could have ended up cutesy and trite but for the fact that it also addresses bereavement and family relationships.
The flying scenes are stunning and you can’t see how they were filmed.
