Synopsis

A young boy eagerly awaits the arrival of his baby sister, imagining the fun they'll have together. However, when she is born with a disability, he feels disappointed and struggles to connect with her. Observing the swifts outside his window, he finds a fledgling that has fallen from its nest. By helping the young bird learn to fly, he realises that his sister, too, may just need a little help to thrive. This touching story explores themes of acceptance, love, and the beauty of differences.
