Manou op de Meeuwenschool
Animation film about a bird that goes to the gull school and discovers that he is not a gull, but a swift.
Little Manou grows up believing he is a seagull like his parents. He strives to swim, fish and fly like them but seems not very gifted. Then he discovers that he was adopted as an offspring of the much-hated swifts. His family still stands by him, claiming he is a bird like them. One night Manou fails to guard the eggs and surrenders one to the rats. The seagulls are outraged and he is expelled from home. Manou retreats and stumbles across Parcival, a funny guinea fowl who cannot fly but turns out to be a deep-rooted pal. He checks out the swifts’ way with his new buddies Yusuf and Poncho when he bumps into Kalifa, a stunning lady swift. Suddenly he is struck by an entangling flirt on top of all other troubles. Stakes are high as rats hijack swift eggs and a big storm threatens the seagulls. Manou is committed to save them both – courageous like a seagull and inventive like a swift.
