About the title
Manu the swift grows up in a family of seagulls and tries with all his might to learn to swim, fish, and fly just like they do. But during the traditional summer competition, he realizes he will never become a seagull. Disappointed, Manu flies away from home, where he meets new friends. This strains his relationship with his own flock. But then chance intervenes. Manu, who has grown up as brave as a seagull and as resourceful as a swift, manages to save both the seagulls and the swifts from an approaching danger and becomes a hero in the eyes of both.
