Meet Manou, a sweet bird who grows up believing he is a seagull like his parents. He strives to swim, fish and fly like them … but feels that he is not very gifted. To his great shock, Manou discovers that he was adopted, and is actually the offspring of the much-hated swifts! After a tragedy, Manou has to navigate the differences between swifts and seagulls, and ultimately try to find his own identity – and save his friends and family along the way.
The film is directed by Andrea Block and Christian Haas on a script from Block and Axel Melzener, based on a story idea from Haas, and will be produced by Haas and Block for LUXX Studios, Sebastian Riemen and Bernd Bohnert for Ambient & Friends and Wolfgang Herold for Herold Studios.
