One day, a homeless boy wonders what it would be like to feel the warmth and love of a family, and during the night he is woken by a bright light and the sound of a baby crying...This nativity story takes a new slant on a traditional story, lyrically exploring the twin themes of home and belonging that have become synonymous with Christmas.
