"The Children of Lir" tells the enchanting Irish legend of the four children of Lir—Fionnuala, Aodh, Fiachra, and Conn. After their mother passes away, their jealous stepmother, Aoife, transforms them into swans, condemning them to a life of sorrow and separation. Bound to the waters of Ireland for 900 years, the children endure trials and tribulations, witnessing the changing world around them. Their tale explores themes of love, loss, and the struggle for freedom, ultimately conveying a message about the enduring power of family and the tragic beauty of fate.
