Plot Summary
When a broken hearted boy
loses the treasured wooden nativity set that links him to his
dead father, his worried mother persuades a lonely
ill-tempered woodcarver to create a replacement, and to allow
her son to watch him work on it. The commission takes their
relationship to unexpected places as the young client makes
greater and more difficult demands of the woodcarver's
ability, and as Christmas approaches, the three struggle to
come to terms with each other, their painful memories and the
process of putting their unhappiness behind
them.
