Twelve-year-old Max, after his father's bankruptcy due to clumsiness, must move from the city to the countryside. In the village, he discovers the world of small-scale farming and awakens his entrepreneurial spirit. With the help of his cousin Charles and local YouTuber Alice, he tries to transform an old dilapidated barn into a small chicken farm. The animal-friendly farm quickly becomes a big hit, and it seems that Max's ingenuity and bold plan to sell shares to local residents will overcome all obstacles. However, soon the three young entrepreneurs find themselves facing the harsh reality of an industry dominated by large agricultural businesses. They must meet strict bureaucratic inspection rules. A heartwarming film for the whole family, delivering an inspirational message and extraordinary values, has delighted audiences' hearts at numerous world festivals.
