The storyline is based on a true tory of a young girl who tried to feed a group of geese, only to be frightened by their aggressive behavior.
This story revolves around the young girl's experience when trying to feed the geese some bread from her family's picnic. What isn't addressed here is how aggressive geese can be, especially around food. We don't see that in the short film, but I know from experience what they can be like. It's handled with humor here, but it could have been more of a nightmare than what actually happened - and thankfully it wasn't. At the time, the child was traumatized and the adults laughed. Today, 20 years later, the girl can laugh also. I kind of have mixed feelings about the whole geese feeding thing, but that short film, as it is, is quite sweet and nostalgic.
The film's message is about the humor in life, from one perspective to another, and how it changes as we grow up.
