A pair of songbirds help an archaeologist’s daughter uncover a secret.

synopsis

Caroline, an archaeologist, is working on an excavation in the countryside, in the region where she grew up. Her daughter Lucie joins her for a few days on holiday. Although Caroline has always avoided questions about her family history, Lucie discovers that they are entering her mother's homeland and that this place harbours a secret. So when a pair of songbirds want to help in her quest, the young girl decides without hesitation to follow them. Thanks to the birds, Lucie goes from one discovery to another.
Lucie, petite fille dégourdie de 10 ans, vient passer quelques jours de vacances avec sa
mère, Caroline. Celle-ci est archéologue et participe à des fouilles à la campagne avec
Pierrot, un collègue débonnaire. Lucie découvre que sa mère a vécu enfant dans la région et qu’elle cache un secret sur son histoire familiale. Aidée par un couple de mésanges et d’autres animaux, Lucie entraîne dans ses aventures Yann, son nouvel ami. Tous deux vont aller de surprises insolites en découvertes fabuleuses.
Caroline, een archeologe, werkt in de regio waar ze is opgegroeid mee aan een
opgraving op het platteland. Haar dochter Lucie gaat een paar dagen met haar mee
op vakantie. Hoewel Caroline vragen over haar familiegeschiedenis altijd heeft
ontweken, ontdekt Lucie dat ze zich in de geboortestreek van haar moeder begeven
en dat deze plek een geheim herbergt. Dus wanneer een paar meesjes haar willen
helpen in haar zoektocht, besluit het jonge meisje zonder aarzelen om hen te volgen.
Dankzij de vogels gaat Lucie van de ene ontdekking naar de andere...
