Film Synopsis

One day, a little boy named Lukas is exploring a mountain forest when he comes across an eaglet, left alone in his nest after being abandoned by his mother.  Christening the little bird Abel, Lukas takes it home with him and intends rearing it to adulthood.  He keeps his discovery from his authoritarian father and, with the help of a kindly forest ranger named Danzer, he succeeds in caring for the growing eagle.  In no time, Abel and Lukas are the best of friends.  As the bird matures, so does his guardian, and all too soon the day comes when they must part.  After Abel has flown away, how long will it be before Lukas follows his example..?
