Synopsis: Victor and his father Jesper are crazy about birds. Together with a lot of other families, they participate in the Great Bird Race, where it's important to spot the rarest bird. Victor hasn't got a lot of friends and always wins second place, but is really hoping to win this year because his worst competitor, Daniel, has broken his leg. Everything is looking good for Victor until Daniel shows up and is about to win the competition. In panic, Victor cheats and the small lie suddenly develops into a huge scandal! The Bird Race escalates and Victor needs help from someone he hadn't foreseen…
