L'aquilotto più forte è destinato a scacciare dal nido il fratello più debole: questo è solitamente ciò che accade quando due piccoli di aquila si trovano a condividere lo stesso nido. Spesso accade anche tra gli uomini che, a ferirli, siano proprio le persone più vicine. Lukas, infatti, soffre a causa della freddezza che il padre mostra nei suoi confronti successivamente alla dolorosa perdita della moglie, morta nel tentativo di salvare il piccolo Lukas da un incendio. Il bambino porta sulle sue giovani spalle il peso della morte della madre.

Brothers of the Wind (2015)
98 min
The way of the eagle is to raise two chicks. The stronger is destined always to throw the weaker from the nest. Man also has his ways, often to hurt those closest to him. Lukas suffers at the hands of a father who has withdrawn since the loss of his wife. Killed whilst rescuing the infant Lukas, the boy now carries the burden of her death. Our eagle’s story begins in the nest. The first-born chick pushes his weaker brother to a certain death on the forest floor. But fate intervenes and the chick is found by Lukas. Naming him Abel, Lukas cares for the creature in secret, finding a love and companionship denied to him at home. But when the day comes to release Abel back into the wild, will Lukas find his own release into a new life?
