Sypnosis
Remy, Nobody's Girl tells the story of Remy, a cheerful and tender-hearted girl, who is an excellent singer and lives in the French country town of Chavanon with her mother. One day her father returns to the town after a long period working in a city. She discovers that she was a "foundling" or an abandoned child and was adopted by Mother Barberin. Her adoptive father Jerome leaves to work in Paris and expects Mother Barberin to send Remy to the workhouse. He returns 10 years later, finds that Remy is still there, and becomes furious and Remy is almost sold to an evil slave trader.

Vitalis, a strolling entertainer, helps Remy. Vitalis discovers her talent for singing and takes her in with his troupe. Remy starts her journey with Vitalis and his troupe of animals such as the monkey Joli-Cœur and the dogs Capi, Dolce, and Zerbino. On her journeys with Vitalis and his company she must endure and overcome many difficulties while looking for her real family. At some point during their travels, Remy meets Milligan and Arthur.

After Vitalis' death, as well as Dolce and Zerbino being killed by wolves while protecting Remy from danger, she meets Gaspard in Paris, who is Vitalis' acquaintance. She also meets the homeless children that he treats like slaves. She later became friends with Mattia and the other homeless children, and she stops Mattia from stealing money through pickpocketing and enjoys listening to him play violin. Upon learning that Remy is the long-lost daughter of Milligan and Arthur's older sister, Gaspard decides to kidnap her for ransom, and Mattia tries his best to protect her from him and his cohorts. After Gaspard is arrested and jailed, Remy reunites with her real family, and Milligan decides to adopt the homeless children. In the end, Remy decides to visit her adoptive mother in Chavanon after reuniting with her real family, while Mattia wants to work hard to become high-class so he can be with her. The two are last seen watching the sunset, remembering Vitalis and his dogs.
