1What is the film about?
On a peaceful summer day, a father takes his little boy kayaking. Between the challenges of a first river outing and the baby's tantrums, the day is not going to be easy, especially when an eagle joins the adventure.

2What difficulties or problems does the father encounter during this day?
In order of appearance, The dad forgets his oars on the bank and the baby drops his hat. The river is not deep enough and the dad has to push the kayak, but he pushes too hard and the kayak leaves without him. The baby falls into the water. The baby gets stuck in the kayak. The baby runs after a bird's feather and almost falls into the water again. The baby refuses to eat his pot and is then caught by an eagle.

3Why does the eagle catch the baby?
Not to eat it, but to raise it as its own eaglet.

4What kind of eagle is this?
It's definitely a golden eagle.

5Where does the story take place?
The landscape is very similar to that of the Gorges du Tarn. The Tarn gorges, located in the French department of Lozère and in Aveyron, are a 400 to 600 m deep canyon that the Tarn has dug into limestone over time.
