Learning to fly follows the journey of a 21 year old (Phaphama) who transitions from adolescence to adulthood when he is forced to leave home. His perception of reality is shattered and shifted when he meets Celestine who guides him through this journey and Beatrix who leads him astray and poses as a danger to his ability to survive. Celestine, like a trusty steed, who is always there to rescue him rescues him from the desolation caused by having to face the consequences of his rebellion with Beatrix and guides him back onto the right path.
