By Chance Balthazar
This thoughtful and unique French film reveals the surprisingly deep connection between Marie, a sensitive farm girl, and her cherished donkey, Balthazar. Though Marie and Balthazar are eventually separated when she gets older, the tale follows both the young woman and the donkey as they contend with the hardships of the world.
Although Marie and Balthazar often encounter cruelty from the various people they meet, they also find small moments of beauty.
