Once upon a time, a poor woodcutter and his wife lived in a great forest. Cold, hunger, poverty and the war raging all around them had made their lives very difficult. One day, the woodcutter’s wife rescues a baby girl who is thrown from one of the many trains chugging through the forest. That child will change their lives, as well as those of everyone she comes in contact with. Some will do all they can to protect her, whatever the cost, revealing both the worst and the best in the hearts of men. Oscar-winning director Michel Hazanavicius recounts this beautifully animated, timeless tale to remind us that, in the darkest of times, the soul of humanity can only be preserved through the bright light of love and the heroism of ordinary people.
