Animated tale 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, Olukine, 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 her grandfather’s adventurous life and has the same calling as Olukine to be an explorer. But Sacha’s parents, who have already arranged a marriage for her, strongly disapprove of 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 Olukine and his ship. (c) Shout! Factory
