## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A somewhat cloying attempt to wring tears from ornithology. A teen grieves her mom, then bonds with orphaned goslings, and learns to fly (sort of). That such a flight actually happened is probably the most interesting thing about the film.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, tender
