Synopsis

Mole discovers a baby bird that has fallen from its nest and decides to care for it. Despite his parents' reminders that it's a wild creature, Mole builds a cage to keep the bird close. As the bird grows and yearns to fly, Mole's grandfather takes him on a hilltop walk, helping him realise that true love means letting go. Understanding this, Mole sets the bird free, rejoicing in its newfound freedom.
