Amy und die Wildgänse (1996)
Amy ist erst 13 Jahre alt, als ihre Mutter bei einem Autounfall ums Leben kommt. Für das kleine Mädchen bricht daraufhin eine Welt zusammen. Sie zieht nach Kanada zu ihrem Vater, einem exzentrischen Erfinder, den sie kaum kennt. Ihr neues Leben gefällt Amy ganz und gar nicht und sie verfällt in eine depressive und von Grund auf traurige Phase. Bis sie eines Tages ein Nest mit Gänse-Eiern findet. Die Vogel-Mama ist anscheinend fort und somit nimmt sich das junge Mädchen den schutzlosen Eiern an. Als sie es wirklich geschafft hat, dass aus den Eiern kleine Gänse-Küken schlüpfen, stellt sich Amy und ihrem Vater die Frage, wie die ahnungslosen Vögel in Richtung Süden reisen können. Daraufhin fassen Amy und ihr Vater den waghalsigen Plan, dass das junge Mädchen ihre „Gänse-Kinder“ mit Hilfe eines Ultraleicht-Flugzeuges selbst nach Süden führen soll …
