About The Orphan's Tale
After being cast out and losing her own child, Noa discovers a boxcar of Jewish infants bound for a concentration camp and rescues one baby. She finds refuge in a German circus, where she must learn the flying trapeze from Astrid, an aerialist with secrets of her own. Rivalry turns into fierce friendship as the women risk everything to protect each other and the child.
