An Angel for May follows a modern boy living in Yorkshire, England who cross through a brick wall leading directly into the early 1940's. Tom looks very strange to Sam Wheeler, who owns the property on which Tom landed. Sam, who lives with his adult daughter, Alison, also provides shelter for a traumatized waif named May. May, who had been buried under the rubble when her entire family was killed in a bombing raid, sleeps with the dog outside and refuses to come inside the house even for meals. (Allmovie)
