The Freedom of Birds is the story of Remi and Pascal who are orphans, and have been trained by the Theatre to be entertainers. As Remi and Pascal both come to age to perform their first acts, their dreams of being performs are ripped away from them by Remi's mother, who has resurfaced into Remi's life and attempts to hide both him and Pascal in lieu of being drafted to the war.
Remi and Pascal are released from their entrapment and spend their lives as travelling story tellers, they travel on horseback from town to town, telling the townfolk their story tales and fables.
Saskia was given to the Circus by her mother who no longer could care for her. Saskia was small in stature, flexible and naturally agile, she was an attractive girl with shocking red hair. When she was taken in by the circus she was trained as an entertainer who could bend and twist into any shape or form. One day during her performances, she was kidnapped by a priest and was imprisoned to a horrifically torturous life of slavery, imprisonment and abuse.
Saskia plots a plan to escape her life of imprisonment and joins forces with Remi and Pascal and a form a bond of travelling entertainers.
Saskia's story is one of courage, passion and love, it is a lovely story, one that will leave an imprint on your heart.
