What is the plot of 'Little Wing'?
'Little Wing' explores the story of Kaitlyn McKay (Brooklynn Prince), a 13-year-old grappling with her parents' divorce.
In the aftermath of losing their home, Kaitlyn, along with her mother Maddie (Kelly Reilly), faces financial challenges.
To remedy the situation, Kaitlyn initially plans to steal a valuable racing pigeon. However, her path takes an unexpected turn as she forms a connection with the bird's owner, Jaan (Brian Cox).
Instead of pursuing theft, Jaan fosters Kaitlyn's passion for the sport, leading to a unique bond between them.
The official synopsis reads, "Follows a 13-year-old girl who is dragged into the world of pigeon racing as she deals with her parents' divorce and the impending loss of her home."
