Storm Boy (2018)
Storm Boy is a moving story about unusual friendships and unconditional love. Mike Kingley tells his granddaughter a story from his childhood, which he spent with his father on a deserted Australian coast after his mother's death. His carefree life was changed forever when he found a nest of newly hatched pelicans whose mother was shot by hunters. With the help of his father and a local Australian, Bill, they managed to raise three adult pelicans. An exceptionally deep bond of friendship formed between Mike and one of the birds, Mr. Percival. But this idyllic time of fun was coming to an end.
