A tender, spiritually rich animated fable that frames the life of Jesus through a father's storytelling to his son, blending 19th-century domestic warmth with biblical grandeur.
Charles Dickens tells his young son Walter the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice.
