SYNOPSIS - LONG WAY NORTH (TOUT EN HAUT DU MONDE)
Rémi Chayé, 2015, 1h21min
LONG WAY NORTH is set in the late 19th century Saint Petersburg. Sacha, a young girl from the Russian aristocracy, dreams of the Great North and anguishes over the fate of her grandfather, Oloukine, a renowned scientist and Arctic explorer who has yet to return from his latest expedition to conquer the North Pole. Sacha has always been fascinated by the adventurous life of her grandfather and has the same calling as Oloukine to be an explorer. But Sacha’s parents, who already made arrangements for her marriage, strongly disapprove the idea to say the least. Defying her destiny, Sacha flees her home and launches an adventure-filled quest toward the Great North in search of Oloukine and his ship.
REVIEWS
“This story of a young girl’s journey to the Arctic in search of her grandfather at the end of the 19th century is a complete pleasure, a gorgeous piece of wide-screen animation that is as delightful as it is unexpected.” – Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
“This French-Danish work offers all you’d want in a young adventure — action, danger, a journey, a coming-of-age, heartwarming and heartbreaking moments, handsome animation and a strong statement of girl power.” – Mike Hale, New York Times Arts & Leisure
“Strong messages about loyalty and doing what's right instead of what's convenient or easy. Courage and perseverance pay off in the end, and a sheltered, pampered girl learns to be humble and self-reliant.”  – Yvonne Conde, Common Sense Media
