A heart-warming story set in the 16th century. It is wartime and the friars of a humble monastery find a baby on the doorsteps of an abandoned home. They lovingly raise the baby and name him Marcellino. When he turns 6 years old, a wealthy Count and his wife take Marcellino in but he remains a very lonely boy. While the count's home offers luxury, it lacks warmth. Experience the simple faith of an innocent child - who while recovering finds comfort in his special friend, the man on the crucifix – and the miracle he inspired.
