Sara Crewe (Liesel Matthews) is the beloved daughter of Captain Richard Crewe (Liam Cunningham), and the kind child adores her father. But when World War I approaches, Crewe knows he will be called to war, and enrolls her in a private boarding school, instructing that she be given the best of everything. Sara befriends her schoolmates, but when her father is pronounced dead, her world turns upside down.
The cruel headmistress, Miss Minchen (Eleanor Bron), confiscates all of Sara's belongings and forces her to live in the attic and work as a servant. Still, Sara holds onto her belief that all girls are princesses, no matter their circumstances, and relies on her kind heart and vivid imagination to sustain her. This sumptuous adaptation of the beloved novel is a tribute to the power of hope to help us through even the darkest times.
