The Migratory Goose
Directed by
Eight-year-old Yousef lives in a tiny village in northern Iran. One day while walking in the fields, he stumbles across a badly injured wild goose that has been shot by hunters. He takes the animal home and tries to save it. Every day he eagerly returns from school to dress its wound, feed it and keep it warm. As the bird's condition improves, Yousef helps it to regain the use of its wings, just in time to join a flock of migrating geese.
