Free to do

In a time when freedom is a luxury, a gifted slave named Orian finds solace and enlightenment in the presence of his Master’s daughter. She teaches him to read and write, and as they grow, an unspoken affection blossoms between them. Though his dearest friend believes his ultimate wish is freedom, Orian secretly harbors a deeper desire. The world shifts when Orian's Master, gravely ill and confronting his mortality, praises Orian's loyalty and grants him his freedom. Orian, now unbound by chains, faces a profound choice: leave or stay for the woman he loves. He knows he cannot abandon her, but their forbidden romance carries a deadly risk. Their tender moments, like a stolen kiss under a stormy sky, are fraught with peril, especially with another envious slave watching their every move, threatening to expose their secret. Orian, fueled by love, bravely asks his Master for his daughter's hand in marriage. The Master, enraged and appalled, descends into a violent coughing fit. What was once a gesture of goodwill transforms into a furious desire for vengeance. The Master calls upon his powerful friends, demanding Orian be made an example of, leading to Orian's brutal capture and savage beating. Thrown into a dark barn, Orian believes all is lost. Yet, in a desperate conversation with the Master's daughter, he reaffirms his love, declaring he'd rather die than live without her. This raw vulnerability ignites a fire within her. She rallies the other slaves, pleading for their solidarity. As Orian is led out to face his execution, the Master's daughter, flanked by the united slaves, confronts her father. The Master collapses, succumbing to his illness. With her father gone, she takes charge, declaring her authority and protecting Orian. In the final image, the farm is hers, and she takes Orian’s hand, sealing their bond as they prepare for a future together, finally free to marry and love openly.
