I'm one of the little girls...haha I haven't seen this movie in years. Maybe I'll have better luck understanding what's going on as an adult.

@MargeKinson Which sister are you? That's way cool...

[MargeKinson]

I'm the first close-up and the middle sister in the "were they dead" scene :P

I have other scenes in the movie but there aren't any clips of them.

[Monkhead]

Coooooooool.

[mastersparta123]

WTF?

this movie is a master piece

[schlepworld]

The story of the three sisters is from H.C Andersen's "The Snow Queen", slightly altered.

I saw this in NY around 1988---amazing.

The greatest Canadian film ever!

[gubbj]

@blowfish3 Meh, not really. Just because it's the only Canadian film you've probably ever seen, doesn't make it the greatest.

[blowfish3]

@gubbj Okay, so I was being hyperbolic. But there was a freshness about this film that, all these years later, is still alive in my memory. Part of this response is personal: I had just discovered Manitoba when I saw this film, and was enjoying for the first time in Canada the sense of a place with a localised history, rather than the national narrative we'd been fed in school social studies classes. I liked this aspect of the film very much: the sense of a little known history captured.
