Highflyer 2: The secret of the big jewel: Second part of the animated adventure about the sparrow Richard, who was adopted into a stork family.
Plot and background
In his mind’s eye, Richard sees himself as a dashing young bird with a long red beak, elegant black and white wings, and powerful long legs. But the truth is somewhat different: Richard is a baby sparrow. Adopting into a stork family certainly has something to do with Richard’s displaced self-image, as he wants nothing more than to be a full member of his adopted flock. He enjoys wintering with the storks in northern Africa, but as the journey home approaches, a lead stork apprentice must be appointed to lead the flock. Despite Richard’s confident approach to the election, his stork brother Max is chosen instead of him. The sparrow Sturkopf then blows a fuse and sets off on his own.
Thus Richard unexpectedly gets into a turbulent adventure when he meets the young sparrow Samia. Samia’s horde is in the clutches of the imperious mean peacock Zamano. If they fail to solve a riddle and find the great jewel for Zamano, they face dire threats. To help the sparrows, Richard must learn to accept himself and work together with his friends as a team.
