The film is a cinematic fable about the power of animals and humans to heal each other. All over the world, people are offering sanctuary to animals that were bred, abused, or sold on the black market. By caring for these animals, we are learning just how much they give back to us. The narrative spine of the film is an ancient fable about a wounded crane, saved by peasants, that tries to express her gratitude with a gift. Illustrated scenes from the fable are interwoven with beautiful stories from animal sanctuaries around the globe. As the film unfolds, we cannot help but wonder, who is saving whom?
