Willy the Sparrow (1989)

Poster for Willy the Sparrow

What would it feel like to be a bird and fly over the trees and housetops?

Vili fakes illness so he doesn't have to take a math test. Instead, he starts shooting at sparrows from the window with an air rifle. The kindly old lady who feeds the birds turns out to be a real-life fairy who tries to turn Vili into a good boy.
