  • "Summary: In this film, adapted from a short story by Alice Munro, a young girl rebels against the stereotyped role forced onto her because of her gender. Thirteen-year-old Margaret's great desire is to work alongside her father on the family's fox farm, but though she is clearly capable and he sometimes indulges her, she is usually assigned household chores and has to step aside for her younger brother. When her father buys a spirited mare, Margaret identifies with the animal and when it is due to be slaughtered to feed the foxes, she allows it to escape. Though the horse is soon recaptured, the young girl determines that when the times comes, her escape will be permanent. Awards: Academy Award ; American Film Festival, New York; International Film Festival, Chicago."
