Using the wonderfully artistic sand animation technique, Canadian-American filmmaker and animator, Caroline Leaf, pivots her bittersweet love story of a sentimental owl and a wild young goose around an original Inuit legend. Against all odds, the couple manage to thrive in the vast and desolate Arctic landscapes, watching their offspring grow; however, when the mother-goose and her grown-up chicks start hearing the urgent and thrilling call of the wild, nature will, inevitably, take its course. Is this relationship meant to last forever?
