SYNOPSIS

Amahl and the Night Visitors tells the heartwarming story of Amahl, a young boy with a lively imagination and a disability that requires him to walk with a crutch. He lives with his mother in poverty, and although they struggle to get by, they share a deep love for one another.

One night, Amahl is visited by three kings—Melchior, Balthazar, and Kaspar—who are following a star in search of a newborn child destined to be a great king. The kings ask to rest in Amahl’s home for the night, and despite having little, Amahl and his mother welcome them with hospitality and curiosity.

As the night unfolds, Amahl’s mother is moved by the kings’ gifts and, in desperation, attempts to take a bit of their gold to help her son. She is caught, but instead of anger, the kings respond with compassion, explaining that the child they seek will bring hope to the poor and needy.

Touched by their kindness and filled with newfound faith, Amahl offers his own crutch as a gift to the newborn king. In a miraculous moment, he is healed and able to walk. Filled with joy, Amahl joyfully joins the three kings on their journey.
