Jojo, a lively 10-year-old with a difficult home life marked by a volatile father & an absent mother, finds solace in an abandoned baby jackdaw. Through the special friendship he builds with the bird, the wall between him & his father will be brought down.—Flounder

Since his mother left them, autistic schoolboy Jojo lives with his father, a security guard, stretching the man's patience with his erratic behavior and constant trouble at school and in the water polo team, where coach Deniz does a remarkable job controlling him without actual expulsion. Jojo finds a baby jackdaw tat fell out of the nest and gets attached to it, also improving his bond with classmate Yenthe. Jojo braves father's orders to put it back in the nest, leading to an unprecedented clash, but their bond prevails while the bird gets killed.—KGF Vissers
