This movie portrays a man named Oden and his daughter Emmy, who painstakingly raise a flock of wild geese, train them to fly, and then guide them back to the warm marshland of the natural wilderness. The story has a wonderful meaning behind it and gives the audience much food for thought. Many episodes in the movie are worthy of deliberation and reflection by spiritual practitioners.

Emmy and her father live in a quiet location with lots of fresh air. However, its natural landscape and pristine beauty are threatened by the arrival of a group of land developers. Emmy accidentally finds some orphaned goose eggs. Under her immaculate love, the eggs hatch and the goslings mature, believing her to be their mother. In order to let the wild geese live in a better environment, Emmy and her father train them to fly, hoping to guide them toward a protected swamp area in the south.

This common ideal and love break the ice between father and daughter. In cooperation, they accomplish the "fly away home" mission of taking the wild geese back to their natural habitat. The countless ordeals and hardships they encounter on their way are very similar to the ones that cross our path as Mother Master guides us -- a flock of lost sheep -- on our Homebound journey.

As the goslings mature, the Odens begin to teach them to fly. Emmy, who has taken care of them since their birth, has become like a mother goose to them. Therefore, the plan is to use two ultra-light planes with Emmy at the head of the goose formation to lead them to a predetermined southern destination. Considering the physical strength of the birds, the flight to the destination is to be made over a period of four days. Here again, we find another similarity in our journey back to our "Home" in the kingdom of God. We must go through trials and tribulations in each realm before we can reach the "Fifth Realm." There are a great many frustrating setbacks and emergency situations on our journey back Home that we must overcome with unyielding perseverance!

On the first leg of the journey, the Odens carelessly land at an air force base. Initially, the soldiers refuse to allow them permission to land, but after learning about their compassion and noble ideal to save the geese, they relent and then later appear on television calling on the people to love the animals and protect the environment.

One day, a hunter sights the flying team. He lowers his gun only when he notices that the leading mother goose is actually the young heroine Emmy whom he has seen on TV. That was really close! Traveling on the spiritual path with an enlightened Master as our pilot is equal to possessing a Universal Passport, which can help us overcome all predicaments and return Home safely.

During the journey, a lame goose becomes too weak to fly and is shot down. When it is found, Emmy dresses its wound and lets it travel in her cockpit. Eventually, this goose also makes it to the destination. This is very much like the way Master takes care of fellow initiates who have special needs, or people in misery. Those who are capable of taking care of themselves and are stable in spiritual practice should be independent instead of relying on Master or envying people under Her special care. Fellow initiates and all brothers and sisters in the world should help and support each other so that all of us will soon be freed from the three realms of suffering and return to our lovely Homeland.

On the fourth day, when Emmy and the geese are approaching their destination, her father falls into the fields and suffers a dislocated and fractured shoulder. He can no longer lead the team, and lacking self-confidence, Emmy does not have the courage to fly alone. Under her father's encouragement and affirmation, and out of her love for this flock of lovely wild geese, she faces reality bravely and leads the team on this last leg of the journey to their final destination.

However, once there, they find themselves caught in the middle of a furious conflict between two groups of people. On one side are the developers who have come to clear the land and thereby destroy the natural ecology, while on the other side are the environmentalists. Fortunately Emmy arrives in the nick of time to move both groups with her love for the wild geese and her persevering and dauntless spirit. The potential outbreak of physical conflict and destruction to nature are avoided. With her great perseverance, Emmy has saved countless numbers of lives.
