Starring John Gregson, Sybil Thorndike, Finlay Currie
with Loretta Parry, Philip Needs

Michael and Rachel, both aged 7, attend the same school. Although Michael is Roman Catholic and Rachel Jewish, their different backgrounds do not stop them becoming fast friends. But then something happens which reveals the barrier between them: their religion. With disarming logic Michael and Rachel decide to test the strength of their bond of friendship.
(Christmas Films: pages 14-15)
