Following the death of his wife, Arthur Pratt (Philip Baker Hall) is on the verge of taking his own life. However, just after he had finished burying his wife’s ashes at the park, a duckling crosses his path. Noticing that the duckling is all alone, Arthur decides to help it find its flock. Unfortunately, they end up finding the flock as roadkill. As a result, Arthur then chooses to take the surviving duckling back to his apartment, where he bathes and feeds it.

Les autres éleveurs amateurs de pigeons de la ville ont tôt fait d'apprendre la nouvelle et certains décident de s'en emparer. Une nuit donc des voleurs viennent prendre la Blanche, ainsi qu'est surnommée la colombe d'Ivan. Celui-ci se met en quête de la retrouver et découvre qu'elle est chez Kolia (dit le Tzigane), une « autorité » chez les colombophiles. Le jeune garçon grâce à sa malice parvient à reprendre son bien, mais comprend que l'oiseau est condamné et le remet en liberté.

As the film begins, Jonathan Livingston Seagull is soaring through the sky hoping to travel at a speed more than 60 miles per hour. Eventually, with luck he is able to break that barrier, but when Jonathan returns to his own flock he is greeted with anything but applause. The Elders of the flock shame Jonathan for doing things the other seagulls never dare to do. Jonathan pleads to stay and claims that he wants to share his newfound discovery with everybody, but the Elders dismiss him as an outcast, and he is banished from the flock. Jonathan goes off on his own, believing that all hope is lost. However, he is soon greeted by mysterious seagulls from other lands who assure him that his talent is a unique one, and with them Jonathan is trained to become independent and proud of his beliefs. Eventually, Jonathan himself ends up becoming a mentor for other seagulls who are suffering the same fates in their own flocks as he once did.
