It is the French coast, Nice. Manou's egg ends up on the ground and cracked. He manages with his little wings to crawl up a rock and finds a nesting pair of Gulls. Mama Gull takes him under her wing, the pair end up raising this small Swift as if he were a Gull, along with his Gull brother that hatches shortly.
But he can never be a Gull, he can't soar, he eventually accepts his fate and acts like a Swift. His big moment comes when the migratory group encounter bad weather and he leads them to safety.
So, other than a cute cartoon it has a message of acceptance of those who are not like you. And that discarded individuals should not give up, there is a place for everyone if we find our real talents.
It was fun to watch but pretty innocuous. We watched it at home on DVD from our public library.
