About
A childless woodcutter's wife in wartime Poland finds a baby girl thrown from a train to Auschwitz and takes her in.
In Poland in the winter of 1943, a childless woman (voiced by Dominique Blanc) lives with her husband, a poor woodcutter (Grégory Gadebois), in a great forest crossed by railway tracks. A Jewish family is deported from Paris, and on the train to Auschwitz the father throws one of his newborn twins into the snow in a desperate attempt to save the child. The woodcutter's wife finds the baby girl and takes her home. Despite their poverty and the dangers around them, she and her husband decide to protect the child. Jean-Louis Trintignant narrates Michel Hazanavicius's animated adaptation of Jean-Claude Grumberg's novel.
