This highly original film tells the inspirational story of a lonely old man and his 10-year old granddaughter, an "Indigo" child. Here, the term refers to a child blessed with the ability to predict events before they happen, see things that are not evident to others, and heal with a special power not possessed by adults. When given custody of his granddaughter, the elderly man does not want the responsibility. Gradually, however, he learns to love the girl, and is positively affected by her spiritual abilities. Together, this man and his child companion forge a bond that transcends all the misfortune around them.
