An animated film of sweeping romance and inevitable tragedy – this is the story of Sarah, a young Jewish girl in Russia. A wistful peasant worker on a landowner’s farm harbours dreams of immigrating to the new land, to Canada. The one sad note for Sarah is that the realization of this dream necessitates a separation from her beloved cow, Brindle. Will she be brave enough to lead her new life alone? A richly funny film, “Sarah’s Dream” utilizes a plasticine cast to tell its extraordinary story.
