Graugänsen beibringen, ihm und seinem Ultraleichtflugzeug durch die Lüfte zu folgen. Doch zunächst

an dem Abenteuer, wie sich die kleinen Gänse entwickeln; wie sie gemeinsam Land, Wasser und die
Lüfte erobern - bis hin zum schweren Abschied am Ende des Projekts, als die Tiere in die Freiheit
entlassen werden und Michael Quetting ein anderer ist ...
