‘I saw the strangest view tonight.’

New Bohemia. America. A surprise. A black guy discovers a white baby abandoned in the night time. He gathers her up – light being a superstar – and chooses to take her home.

London. England. After the financial crash. Leo Kaiser knows steps to make cash but he doesn’t know how to manage the jealousy he feels towards his closest friend and his wife. Is certainly his newborn baby even his?

New Bohemia. 17 years later. A youngster and a woman are falling in love but there’s a lot they don’t find out about who they are and where they result from.

Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The Winter’s Story vibrates with echoes of the original but tells a contemporary story where Period itself is a new player in a game of high stakes that may either result in tragedy or forgiveness. It shows us that however far we’ve been separated, whatever is normally lost will be found.
