Plot

After getting caught up in a violent winter storm that kills his parents, a baby swift named Manou (Josh Keaton, 'Hercules', 'Ben 10') hatches on the cliffs of the Côte d'Azur and is taken in and raised by a seagull colony. The pair of seagulls, Blanche (Kate Winslet, 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', 'Titanic') and Yves (Willem Dafoe, 'Spider-Man', 'The Lighthouse'), treat Manou like one of their own, but as the little swift grows up, he can't help but realise how different he is to the other gulls around him. Manou is not at all gifted at swimming, flying and fishing unlike the other birds in his colony, and he suffers under the knowledge that they are not one and the same. After he fails to guard some eggs from a wicked group of rats, many of the seagull colony reject him as one of their own and Manou must find his own way in a world in which he has never felt like he truly belonged. Along with his newfound misfit friends, Yusuf (Yaron Mesika, 'The Butcher', 'On the Edge'), and Poncho (Arif S. Kinchen, 'Transformers: Robots in Disguise'), Manou begins to explore his identity and learn to love the feathers he was born in. When another epic storm threatens the wellbeing of both the swifts and the seagulls, however, Manou must find the strength to save both of his families and, with them, himself.
