A sad film about a boy named Billy, who has a very sad poor home life. I found this film depressing, but still watchable.
The film told the story of how a young boy with not much future and no friends. But he decides he wants a Kestrel to train.
The story really makes you think about what we have and what is needed in life. This film haws a sad ending so be prepared.
