Free... as a bird
a boundless heart
John is a young man who is different from others - he was born with wings. For years, he enthusiastically made the best of his gift, guided by his most faithful companion - his own heart. He flied freely around the world, exploring horizons that others didn't even dream to exist.
However one autumn night an unusual sadness invades his heart. For the first time in his life the bird-boy fears loneliness. In a moment when he wonders whether being different will mean living alone forever, the sight of another young man in a cosy house in front of his tree inspires him. John realises that this young man is, in fact, just alone as he is.
From then on, he begins a very different journey, far above the heavens that were already so familiar to him. He joins the flight of a friendship for life.
Together, the two boys discover that as far as the qualities of human beings are concerned, sharing and acceptance grow in ways which have no limits. In the magic equation of love, the result is always much greater than the simple sum of the parts.
