A stunning hand-drawn animation from Oscar-winning director Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) follows a Jewish baby girl in WWII Europe. 

In the middle of a great forest, a poor woodcutter and his wife struggle to survive as war rages around them. One day, a baby girl is thrown from one of the trains that constantly pass nearby. This baby will transform the couple’s lives, as well as those of others she encounters. Some will try to protect her – whatever the cost. Narrated by French screen icon Jean-Louis Trintignant in his final film role, The Most Precious of Cargoes adapts Jean-Claude Grumberg’s novel of the same name.
