A Trip Through the Doll Fields

One human baby. Three overlapping stories. Many lives changed. How do you capture the beats of a life worth living?

When a young couple, Allison and Nigel, break house arrest to visit a nudist colony, their lives become inescapably intertwined with a visionary lawn ornament artist and a pair of women who steal Baby Jesuses from church nativities.

While on their road trip, Nigel loses their baby daughter in a novelty shop and deserts Allison, who finds herself lost in a strange town and deep in a mushroom trip.

Meanwhile, for Annalise and Lakshmi, who love nothing more than to steal baby saviors from their nativity scenes, their fun ends when the law and possibly a copy-cat doll-napper start to catch up with them, and Annalise is sidelined by a serious illness.

Annalise’s personal complications and her brother’s incarceration for her own crimes catapult Annalise into a waking dream that connects a lost baby, a nudist colony, a lawn ornament studio, and cancer treatments, with a car loaded down with a stack of freshly picked Baby Jesuses.
