From Michel Hazanavicius, author of award-winning The Artist (2011), comes an adaptation of author Jean-Claude Grumberg’s 2019 novel. This fairytale, with voices from notable actors Dominique Blanc, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Grégory Gadebois, and Denis Podalydès, amongst others, follows a humble lumberjack and his wife, who live in a remote Polish forest. The wife often laments the absence of children in their lives. Day and night, trains pass through the forest, their sounds echoing through the trees. One day, as the wife watches what she assumes to be a cargo train passing by, she discovers that a baby has been tossed from the train, en route to Auschwitz, into the snow. Her decision to rescue the baby will change their lives forever…
