Christy has a Christmas tree farm and sells Christmas trees in New York every year. His son Danny wants to take up photography but Christy has no understanding for this. One year when Danny is seventeen, he runs away and disappears in New York. There, during the year, he makes contact with Catherine, who is the curator of a photographic museum. The following year, Christy and Danny's sister return to sell Christmas trees and to look for Danny.
A semi-romantic film that is mostly about the conflict between Christy and Danny rather than the romance between Christy and Catherine. However, the religious undertones are not very prominent even though they are there.
