Khar-mohr, a young donkey from Nazareth, is chosen by Joseph to carry a very pregnant Mary to Bethlehem. Since there's no room in any inn, Mary eventually gives birth to Jesus in a stable. Khar-mohr is there to witness the event, as well as the arrival of the shepherds and three kings, and is awestruck by the appearance of the star of Bethlehem. Not knowing what he's just witnessed, Khar-mohr is convinced that he has seen something very special and out of the ordinary.
