Once upon a time, in a vast forest, there lived a poor woodcutter and his poor wife.
The cold, hunger, poverty, and, all around them, the war made their lives extremely difficult. One day, the woodcutter’s wife finds a baby thrown from one of the many trains passing through the forest without stopping. Protected at all costs, this child – this small “precious cargo” – will completely change the life of the woman, her husband, and all those whose paths it crosses, including the man who threw the baby from the train. Their story will reveal both the worst and the best in the human heart.
