Two unusual companions, a runaway priest and a giant whose appearance "attracts both men and women equally", in Prussia in 1784, flee from a cruel master in order to enjoy the fruits of freedom.

The novel is melancholic, introspective, and poetic, with an emphasis on the heroine's inner world. The "clouds" here are both real and metaphorical - a place of escape, but also a symbol of the freedom that comes when you dare to change your life.
