Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for parents and kids watching together and people who like stories about real, flawed people. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too. A good follow-up to The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 29 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

In this drama, Lesia convinces her English-Canadian friend Sarah to perform a Ukrainian dance with her as part of their school's Christmas pageant. Sarah's father, angry at the growing number of Ukrainian settlers, won't allow his daughter to participate. Despite the prejudices of their parents, the girls' friendship remains strong, and they meet in Sarah's barn to celebrate Christmas Day together. Part of the Adventures in History series.
