After losing her mother in a car accident that leaves her with a broken arm, 4-year-old Ponette struggles with anguish and fear.

Confused by the religious explanations provided by adults, and challenged by the cruel taunts of a few children at school, little Ponette must make her way through her emotional turmoil.
