Zorba seeks advice from his friends Colonel, Secretary, Pallino and Diderot, and thanks to their indispensable help, the little creature manages to be born without any problems. The orphaned gull is christened Fortunata (Fif\u00ec) by the cat community. Little Fif\u00ec is faced with a strange task: that of learning about herself and understanding that she is not a cat, before she learns to fly.<\/p>\n<p>When the gull is now a teenager, the cats decide to teach her how to fly. They try all kinds of gimmicks and a thousand exercises, but she fails. So Zorba asks Bubulina and her mistress Nina for help to take her to the top of St. Michael's bell tower, from where she can launch herself and, at last, fly. Once at the top, Nina and Zorba help the little gull overcome all fears. Fif\u00ec swoops down, risking crashing to the ground, but lo and behold, she finally opens her wings and manages to soar. Fortunata says goodbye to Zorba and her friends and goes to the sea where, meeting a flock of seagulls, she finds her future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The film has as an important element the presence of musical animations that make up the film's soundtrack.
