This charming animated English-voiced adventure is set in the glory days of 19th<\/sup>\u00a0Century exploration. As a member of the Russian aristocracy, 15 year-old Sasha is expected to make her debut in polite society, to marry strategically, and to live out her life as an obedient wife. But Sasha has other plans. She was born with the wanderlust of her grandfather Oloukine, an explorer of renown who has yet to return from his expedition to the far reaches of the North Pole aboard his unsinkable ship, the Davia. Meanwhile, the Tsar\u2019s treacherous nephew has used Oloukine\u2019s absence to tarnish her family\u2019s honor and Sasha is convinced that the Davia hasn\u2019t been found because everyone is looking in the wrong place. Without a ruble of her own, Sasha sets off to territories unknown, hoping to prove her theory and to restore the family reputation, even if it leaves her marriage prospects in ruins.<\/p>\n

Director R\u00e9mi Chay\u00e9 decided to animate his first feature in 2D, a bold choice for a spectacular adventure story. This graphically simplified technique had the advantages of allowing him to focus more on color, and of helping to evoke the nostalgic worlds of two major influences: Jack London and Jules Verne. In development since 2005, the film was a labor of love for Chay\u00e9, who began as an illustrator for comics and advertising before making his way through the ranks of animation starting as a storyboarder for films like\u00a0L’\u00eele de Black M\u00f3r<\/em>\u00a0(2004),\u00a0Secret of the Kells<\/em>(2009), and\u00a0The Painting<\/em>\u00a0(2011). The idea for the film came to Chay\u00e9 through TV writer Claire Paoletti, who, using Shackleton\u2019s polar expedition as a major reference, developed the full treatment from a one-page outline. \u00a0Two writers contributed to the screenplay, Patricia Valeix completed the second draft and \u00a0Fabrice de Costil added the dialogue and final polish.<\/p>\n
