Survive starvation while shielding a miraculous child from a cruel world.
In the grip of a brutal medieval famine, a newborn with six wings plummets from the heavens and is left to die in the snow by a heartless stranger. Martha, a destitute peasant, finds the infant and brings her home. The child's presence triggers impossible recoveries: Martha's paralyzed son walks again, her simple-minded son awakens to sharp intellect, and barren fields erupt into golden harvest. As the household flourishes, the baby's power metes out ruin to the cruel and bounty to the kind, all while a long-lost third son draws nearer to reunion.
