The Most Precious of Cargoes
This animated drama from the director of The Artist tells a story that will reveal the worst and the best in the hearts of men.
A baby girl is rescued by a woodcutter’s wife when she is thrown from one of the many trains that constantly pass through the forest. This “most precious of cargoes” will transform the lives of the poor woodcutter’s wife and her husband, as well as those whose paths the child will cross - including the man who threw her from the train.
“Director Michel Hazanavicius finds a poignant way to address not only the horrors of the Holocaust, but the kindness that combated it, crafting an indelible parable destined to be watched and shared by generations to come.” ~Peter Debruge, Variety
“The evils within the film feel tragically prescient, and The Most Precious of Cargoes makes those parallels explicit.” ~Leila Latif, IndieWire
