In this moving story, a woman joins her peers to grasp for threads dangling from the sky, each representing an unknown opportunity. The woman snags a particularly special looking thread and is whisked away on an adventure. She flies across the city and the countryside and comes down gently to meet her fate. Holding the other end of the thread is an infant girl. A mother-daughter connection is born.
