Striking watercolor backgrounds convey the harsh landscape beauty in this animated film about a baby thrown from a train bound for Auschwitz and found in the snow by a childless woodcutter’s wife. The child transforms the lives of her adoptive parents, despite the threatening danger from the “hunters of the heartless,” the antisemites. Almost silently, the film merges fairytale elements with the reality of the Holocaust, revealing both horror and humanity.
