foundling

A story of passion and revenge, it is based on the original story of the destructive, obsessive love between Catherine Earnshaw and the foundling Heathcliff.

In a logging camp in 1934 New Brunswick, newborn Pearly is raised alongside Bruno, a foundling bear cub given to her father.

“They both have the connection of being adopted, being foundlings, so there’s that emotional bond.”

We might hear an account of a foundling left on this particular doorstep, or perhaps the family that once lived here and was forced to flee or go into hiding.

They're outcasts and they take in other outcasts — foundlings — and help them, raise them, accept them as their own.
