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. During his first hunt, Marcellino, horrified by so much violence against animals, runs away to go back to his beloved monastery. A storm rages and the next morning he's found unconscious and brought to the monastery and hidden in a loft with a large crucifix. (official distributor synopsis)
