L'auberge de l'ange gardien

In the bitter chill of a rainy night, two young brothers huddle beneath a solitary oak on a lonely road. The elder, wrapped in a threadbare coat, shields his tiny sibling, whose frail hands clutch a modest medal. Their quiet desperation is palpable, yet a tender, protective love glows between them, hinting at the depth of their bond.

A lone traveler, accompanied by a massive Saint‑Bernard, stumbles upon the shivering pair. The faithful dog, sensing their plight, draws the man's attention, and he discovers the children alive but vulnerable. Moved by their story—an orphaned mother’s death and a father taken away by the authorities—the rescuer decides to carry them toward the nearest village, hoping to find a caring soul who will shelter them. Their journey begins with a simple act of compassion, promising both hardship and hope for the brothers ahead.
