After the plovers arrive home safely from their southerly journey, a warm, spring day welcomes baby Ploey, the newest addition to the flock. What begins as an exciting day of flying school with his new crush, Ploeveria, Ploey’s first flight ends with a tragic rescue—one that leaves him feeling like he must never fly again. When fall arrives and Ploey is nowhere to be found, the flock begins their migration for warmer weather, leaving Ploey behind. Forced to endure the coming months alone, Ploey sets out on foot to reach the infamous Paradise Valley, a safe haven tucked high in the mountains for cowards too afraid to fly south for the winter. With the help of some unlikely friends, Ploey must learn to survive the treacherous blizzards and outsmart dangerous enemies with the hopes of seeing the love of his life again come spring. A family-friendly adventure with vivid animation, PLOEY: YOU NEVER FLY ALONE teaches us no matter how far our journey takes us, we never fly alone. (In English) —A.B.
