Longway North by the French Rémi Chayé (The Secret of Kells, Le Tableau) tells the story of a Russian girl in distress at the end of 19th century.  

Tout en haut du monde (the original title)  is a production by Sacrebleu Production studio, the company behind Serge Avedikian's Cannes-awarded The Barking Island, and Bastien Dubois' Oscar-nominated, Madagascar.

It is meant as a historical adventure story, mostly in 2D animation, and its Russian plot and adventure reminds of David Lean's Dr. Zhivago -even though the film does not trace its story so far in time, in the communist-era Russia.

Rémi Chayé, animator director in the César-nominated Le tableau by Jean-François Laguionie is the director in Longway North, which is scheduled for release in 2014.

As reported by Variety, the film has a budget of €8 million, and has secured the actress Lea Seydoux (Mission Impossible-Ghost Protocol, Midnight in Paris) to voice the main female character. Animation for Longway North will commence next April/May.
