1 What is the film about?
On a peaceful summer day, a father takes his little boy on a kayaking trip. Between the challenges of a first river trip and the baby's temper tantrums, it's not going to be a smooth day, especially when an eagle joins the adventure.
2 What difficulties or problems does the father face during this day?
In order of appearance,
The father forgets his oars on the bank and the baby drops his hat.
The river is not deep enough and the daddy has to push the kayak, but he pushes too hard and the kayak goes without him.
The baby falls into the water.
The baby gets stuck in the kayak. The baby goes after a bird feather and almost falls into the water again.
The baby refuses to eat his potty and is then caught by an eagle.

3 Why does the eagle catch the baby?
No, it is not to eat it but to raise it as its own eaglet.
4 What kind of eagle is it?
It is certainly a golden eagle.
5 What will he decide to do?
The landscape is very similar to the Gorges du Tarn in France.
The gorges du Tarn, located in the French department of Lozère and in Aveyron, are a 400 to 600 m deep canyon that the Tarn has carved out of the limestone over time.
