THE SECRET OF BIRDS

Caroline, an archaeologist, returns to the countryside where she grew up to take part in an excavation. During her holidays, her daughter Lucie joins her for a few days, hoping to spend time with her mother.

But Caroline has always avoided questions about her family history. As Lucie begins to realise that her mother has deep roots in the area and is hiding a secret, her curiosity leads her on an unexpected adventure.

When a pair of great tits seems determined to help her uncover the truth, Lucie follows the birds without hesitation. Guided by their movements, she goes from one discovery to the next, gradually uncovering the mysteries of her family's past.

A story of discovery, family secrets and the connection between people and the natural world, The Secret of Birds invites audiences to see how even the smallest encounters can lead to extraordinary revelations.
