On a rainy night in New Zealand, a car accident left 13-year-old Amy losing her mother forever. When she woke up from her coma, she was greeted by her father, Thomas, whom she had not met for more than a decade. When Amy was 3 years old, her parents divorced, Amy lived with her mother, so she was very strange to her father, and life continued, and Amy had to follow her father back to Canada.
On days without her mother, Amy was sullen all day, and early one morning, Amy heard the sound of bulldozers outside the window, it turned out that the developer was rushing to destroy the woods, and a group of geese spread their wings and fled their homes. Thomas jumped up from the bed and rushed down to theorize with them, but no one paid any attention to him, Thomas likes to engage in all kinds of inventions and creations, Amy's mother thinks he is a nervous disease, so she left him with Amy, and now Thomas has a new girlfriend Mary, for daddy's girlfriend, Amy is very repulsive.
On this day, the bored Amy came to the grove for a walk, in a grass she found a nest of goose eggs, amy was very surprised, she carefully took them home, and carefully prepared a hatchery, in a few days, a nest of geese came out of the shell, Amy was very happy and liked them, and this nest of geese also took Amy as their "mother"
Amy begs her father's permission to feed the flock of geese, and Thomas looks at her kind daughter and agrees. Since then, Amy has carefully taken care of this group of geese to play with them, and named them one by one, there is a lame goose, Amy called it "little crutch", and later listened to her uncle's advice, she called it "Yiguo". On this day, the forest ranger came to the house as a guest, saying that the geese would regard the living creatures they saw at the first sight of their birth as their mothers, and would follow the "mother" to any place later, and they would not learn to fly and migrate without the guidance of the "mother". He also said that according to the existing regulations, the raised geese must cut their wings to avoid disturbing the residents, and Amy was not happy to hear that, and Thomas threw the caretaker out of the room.
Thomas likes to glide, but always not good at it, always have to plant a big heel when landing, after a period of modification and practice, Thomas can already master the glider skillfully. The geese have grown up in amy's company day by day, and have transformed from a group of "ugly ducklings" into beautiful geese. On this day, Thomas and Amy discussed that he wanted to use a glider to lead the flock of geese south for the winter. Amy disagreed, because then Amy would never see the geese with her day and night, but Thomas said that it was the instinct of birds to fly south, and they would return the same way the next year, not to mention, if you left them around, the geese may be cut by the forest ranger, and Amy reluctantly agreed to see her father say this.
But although this group of geese has grown up, but they have never learned to fly, Thomas made a model of a big goose to lead the geese to fly, but this group of geese only recognize Amy as "mother" and do not pay any attention to Thomas. In desperation, with Amy's cooperation, the geese ran after Thomas. Later, Thomas piloted a glider to lead the geese to take off, but the geese only circled around Amy' side, but refused to take off, even if Amy hid in the woods, the geese could find her. If this continues, when will the geese learn to fly, let alone migrate, so Amy secretly drove the glider into the sky without her father noticing, and the geese saw that "Mother" took off, and they also took off together, Amy was happy to see the geese following behind her, but Amy did not know how to operate the glider for the first time, and one accidentally planted it. Thomas anxiously ran over and picked up Amy and hugged her tightly in her arms, Amy felt her father's warm embrace for the first time, and her cold heart began to melt.
After this incident, Thomas decided to build another glider so that Amy could learn to steer the glider and the geese could follow her. Mary objected but Amy agreed. Thomas sold his model of the lunar landing boat, and soon the "Big Goose" glider was built, and Amy mastered the flying skills after a period of practice under Thomas's careful guidance. The geese in the cage saw the "mother" flying in the sky, they pecked open the cage door, brushed and flew to the sky, closely followed behind Amy, looking at the geese who followed them behind, Amy was very happy, they flew freely in the sun, like a beautiful picture!
Autumn wind and autumn are coming, the day of the migratory birds is approaching day by day, Thomas and his uncle are discussing the route of the voyage, they must carefully plan the route in order to reach the habitat smoothly, the day of departure is approaching day by day, Amy has to hurry to train the geese, but "Igo" does not dare to take off due to leg disease, Amy encourages it by radio, Igo finally spreads his wings and takes off, when it finally catches up with the large army but crashes into the glider railing and falls, Amy and dad look for Igo in the woods all night, After much effort, Iguo was finally found. What they didn't expect was that the administrator took advantage of their absence to move the geese away. This made Amy very angry, in order to "rescue" the geese, the uncle and them staged a "tiger away from the mountain" plan to successfully rescue the geese, Amy and Thomas piloted the glider to lead the geese on the migration road.
When the geese flew over the school, the students knew that it was Amy's glider flying in the sky, and they chased amy out of the classroom and cheered continuously towards the sky, and their eyes were full of longing. They flew over the town and flew over Lake Ontario, they were about to enter the United States before sunset, because they did not submit a flight plan, it was illegal entry, the US military radar quickly detected that two UFOs were approaching them, the entire base immediately entered a state of combat readiness, the fighter plane was hanging bombs ready to take off to intercept, but Amy and Thomas flew a glider directly to the US military airfield. Subsequently, they were quickly taken into control by the military and brought before a general.
Amy tries to explain their flight plans to the General, but the General is furious because their inadvertent intrusion has put the entire base in full combat readiness, and the consequences are extremely serious. Amy smiled and said we promised there wouldn't be a second time. The general took a photo with them after learning that they were not malicious, and this sudden incident was quickly reported by the major media, and when Amy and Thomas left the base, the general lined up to personally escort them away, as if bidding farewell to the president.
Amy and her party continued to fly, and what she did not expect was that their "big love trip" was hyped up by the media, and many people knew about their escort journey. On the way, they encounter hunters who shoot at the geese, who are frightened and flee around on a lake that stays on the ground, and Amy and Thomas have to land. In the evening, they were warmly received by an old grandmother, who recognized them and said that she had seen reports of them on television. The next day, Amy summoned her geese to continue on the road, and the media continued to pay attention to their whereabouts, and various media had set up "long guns and short cannons" at the destination of their trip to honor the arrival of the father and daughter.
Amy and Thomas flew over the forest through the thick fog and into the city full of tall buildings, their wings clinging to the tall buildings, and people rushed to witness and applaud the spectacular scene. Amy and dad flew all the way, and the scenery under their feet was picturesque, as if they were flying in a magnificent picture. Suddenly, Thomas's glider malfunctioned, planted in a cornfield, Amy hurriedly landed, rushed into the cornfield, fortunately Thomas was only slightly injured, but could no longer control the glider, the rest of the way, only Amy alone to face. Amy is a little worried that she will not find her way, Thomas encourages her to be brave, there is still 30 kilometers an hour away, to believe that she will be able to do it, because you are like your mother. Amy hugged her dad tightly and got back on the road with his blessings.
Under the guidance of pedestrians on the road, Amy flew all the way with the geese, they went all the way along the river, finally, Amy saw the cheering crowd, she drove the glider steadily down, the crowd immediately boiled, people cheered Amy's name, Amy finally succeeded, she completed this spectacular love journey with self-reliance and love, those lovely elves landed on the river to play freely, people and nature live in harmony, so beautiful! Amy excitedly hugged her father who had rushed over earlier...
This is a movie based on real people and true events, "Flying High with You", which tells the touching story of a little girl who successfully led a group of geese who lost their mother to migrate with the help and encouragement of their father Thomas. Harmony between man and nature is an eternal topic of human beings, in the final analysis, we humans are also part of nature, and to protect nature is to protect ourselves. In recent years, the frequent occurrence of extreme weather has made more and more people recognize the importance of loving nature, and if we continue to destroy and develop nature unscrupulously, it is still us who will be harmed in the end. Since the beginning of this year, Henan and Shanxi have been hit by torrential rains, a large number of farmlands have been flooded, houses have collapsed, landslides, and some people have even lost their precious lives.
Loving the environment and protecting nature is no longer a distant topic, each of us should feel empathy, protecting nature, is to protect our own homeland! Because we all have one earth! If you were Amy, what would you do? Do you approve of Amy and Thomas' approach? If one day you also encounter such a thing, do you dare to insist on yourself?
