This subtle and gentle film celebrates the spiritual commitment of an unusual community in Northern California. Starcross, a lay Catholic monastery, supports itself by selling Christmas trees and wreaths.

In the wake of the AIDS epidemic, the three founders of Starcross opted to take in babies infected with the disease for the purpose of providing them the joy and happiness all children duly deserve. Christmas at Starcross follows these three deeply caring individuals from one Christmas season to the next, becoming a poetic tribute to life itself, however brief.
