Amy is only 13 years old when her mother is killed. She goes to Canada to live with her father, an eccentric inventor whom she barely knows. Amy is miserable in her new life... until she discovers a nest of goose eggs that were abandoned when a local forest was torn down. The eggs hatch and Amy becomes "Mama Goose". When winter comes, Amy and her dad must find a way to lead the birds South.

I’d never even heard of this until two weeks ago. Some really beautiful cinematography throughout, but especially the final 15 min. A really great change of pace from the frenetic nature of modern kids movies.
