The Songbirds' Secret

Caroline, archaeologist, is participating in excavations in the countryside, in the very area where she grew up. Lucie, her daughter, joins her for a few days during her holidays. Caroline always dodged the questions about her family history. However, Lucie learns that her mother is from here and that she is hiding a secret. Also, when she realizes that a couple of tits wants to help her in her quest, the young girl decides to follow them without hesitation. Thanks to the birds, Lucie goes from discovery to discovery…


When 9-year-old Lucie arrives at Bectoile for the vacations, she has no idea of the adventures ahead. Her mother, Caroline, is leading an archaeological dig in the region with her colleague Pierrot. Bectoile is also the town where Caroline grew up, and the scene of a family secret... which Lucie is about to unveil! With the help of her new friend Yann and a very special pair of songbirds, Lucie is determined to delve into her family story.
From the underground of a ruined castle to a camper van parked on the edge of the woods, this adventure will lead them from unusual surprises to fabulous discoveries!
