Our suggestions
During a war that plagues everything around, a lumberjack's wife finds an abandoned baby girl. This meeting transforms the life of the couple and those whose destinations intertwine with that of the child.
"The Most Precious of Cargoes is a touching and delicate animation directed by Michel Hazanavicius — the same award-winning filmmaker behind The Artist. Here, he bets on a moving fable set in times of war, capable of deeply touching adult audiences. The story begins when the wife of a poor lumberjack finds an abandoned baby in the forest and decides to raise her as her own. From there, we follow how this gesture of humanity transforms the couple's life and echoes in the destinies of those who cross the child's path. With a poetic aesthetic, sensitive soundtrack and a script full of layers, the film is ideal for those looking for stories that speak of hope, courage and love in the midst of darkness. A powerful, sensitive and necessary tale."
