mutual learning between adults and children

A unique, healing film about a father helping his daughter lead a flock of wild geese on a migration. Along the way, the unfamiliar father and daughter gradually became familiar with each other. The father knows how to be a father, and the daughter slowly understands the father's love. Although it was taken in 1996, the pictures are very beautiful, especially the daughter leading the geese flying in the sky over the ocean. I think sometimes, as long as the starting point is kind, it's okay to be weird. Family support is important because outsiders simply don’t support it. Gradually growing up and being limited by the rules and regulations of life, children's hearts are often the purest and most beautiful. Many times, as adults, we have to learn more from our children. (Finally, thank you to Kaikai's members, otherwise I wouldn't be able to watch it, hahaha.)

  • [watching Amy lead the geese around]

    Thomas Alden: It's amazing, isn't it, how they, uh, follow her around like that?

    DNR Officer: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, uh, called imprinting. The first living thing a goose sees when it's born, it automatically assume is its mother.

    Thomas Alden: Huh.

    DNR Officer: They'll follow her anywhere.
