Jack (Bob Hoskins) faces a time of loss and depression after his wife dies. A ray of sunshine appears in his life with his new neighbor, Florrie, a little girl that wants to learn about Jack’s racing pigeons. When she moves next door, she discovers Jack’s neglected racing pigeons and by visiting his loft often, she renews his own love for the birds. The pigeons also become fascinating for a young guy with an uncertain future on the streets.

The movie is not about racing pigeons in fact, but reveals how they can bring people together and even change lives.
