While walking through woods, a man and his daughter find a newborn baby abandoned in the snow. For two people who have already suffered trauma through great loss, it is an especially shocking discovery. Through the 'voice' of the 12-year old, we come to understand and see how different her perceptions are from those of her father, the dilemmas they both face and how, in the end, forgiveness can overcome the ability to condemn.
