Two brothers' bond is tested when they try to save an injured crane.
Jadran and Josh, brothers navigating a new family dynamic, discover an injured crane. Jadran, determined to help it fly, faces unforeseen challenges. As they struggle with their own fragility and strength, will their bond withstand the cost of their mission? Dive into a tale of brotherhood and resilience.
Two brothers bound together by affection and responsibility. Jadran is five years older than Josh and huge enough to be nicknamed Giant. Josh is younger, and smaller; but his sweet and stubborn brother thinks in a way that would be more typical of a small child. They are both dealing with changes to their newly blended, Muslim family. So Josh looks after Jadran and they both adjust. When the brothers find an injured young crane, Jadran wants to bring it back to their small apartment and teach it to fly at any cost. And it turns out the cost is high. Intensely moving without ever slipping into sentimentality, The Blue Wings is a warm, love-filled story about fragility, strength, and brotherhood, in all its complications.
