Once upon a time, in a big wood, there was a poor woodcutter and a poor woodcutter's wife. Cold, hunger, misery, and war all around them, made their lives miserable.
One day, the poor woodcutter took in a baby. A baby thrown from one of the many trains that constantly passed through their woods. Protected at all costs, this baby, this precious cargo, will change the lives of this woman, her husband, and all those who will cross her destiny, right up to the man who threw her off the train.

From Academy Award winning director Michel Hazanavicius and premiering in Competition at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, this breathtaking animation won the Positive Cinema award in recognition of its commitment and message on strong themes, full of hope and humanity despite the dark times the story takes place in. This heart-warming and dramatic story also opened the Annecy International Film Festival, where it received a 5-minute standing ovation.
