Owl's Odyssey

OBSAH

When a female Barn Owl’s home – an old disused barn – is demolished, she has to seek a new place to live. On the way, flying through forests and across grasslands, she encounters most of the owl species, common to Central Europe: Long- and Short-eared Owls, Little, Tawny and Eagle Owls, some she can live in peace with, others she must escape or risk becoming their prey. During her journey, the film shows why owls fly so silently and hunt so efficiently, what meaning humans attributed to them since the ancient times, and how they live beside us today. It explains why they have become – unfairly so – associated with death. In the end, our owl finds a new home, as the guest of a Barn Owl family, just in time to see the new clutch of young owls following their mother on their first majestic flight.
