It’s 13th century England. You’re a teenage girl who just discovered that your father plans to marry you off to save his financial situation. You don’t want to be married, not given the marriages you see around you. What do you do? If you’re young Birdy, you come up with a plan to scare off every potential husband sent your way – and have some fun in the process.
