A bird expert, who watches migratory birds year after year, cannot simply be an observer to his own life.

Min, a bird expert who longs to be free like migratory birds, sees himself in family predicaments. There is growing tension between him and his barren wife. He and his brother, who were once in good terms, have been cold-shouldering each other for years. Under the frustration with work, his wife and his old home, how will he cope? In contrast of the come and goes of migratory birds and the complex relationships among the characters, the birds will finally bring a message of love to them.

鳥類專家林家民，渴望如候鳥擁有自在的天空，現實生活中卻陷入家庭與親情的困境，和不孕的妻子關係日益緊張，與弟弟冷戰多年。候鳥南遷的時節，所有衝突亦驟然引爆考驗著渴愛的人們。該片從候鳥季節遷徙的習性，對照劇中人物彼此難以捨去的關係。秋去春來悲喜更迭，候鳥終將捎來愛的信息。
