„When you meet the bird, then gently show it that you know, love and understand its country, and it will entrust you with everything it possesses: its freedom, its life, its offspring!”, says a fairy tale in Lapland. “The legend of the bird in the hand” has become reality for Ernst Arendt and Hans Schweiger. A little Mornell plover tiptoes to Ernst Arendt, sits trustingly in his hands and starts breeding there. It is a touching moment, just like catching a glimpse of paradise, the reconciliation of man and nature. The team has classified this thrilling and entertaining film as its most emotional one: “Although we have in the past observed wild, un-tamed animals in the wilderness, this time it seemed to us as if we had filmed a fairy tale”.
