The year is 1863 and 12-year-old Marta Jane is travelling west with her family in a large covered wagon train, searching of a better life. Practical and outspoken, Marta Jane finds the community turning against her, and when the leader of the convoy wrongly accuses her of theft, she runs away to find proof of her innocence.
Winner of the Best Film Award at the 2020 Annecy Festival, Calamity is Rémi Chayé’s second feature after Long Way North (Haifa IFF 2015). The vibrant and dynamic film, with its hand-drawn imagery and action-packed story, follows the birth of a myth, as Marta Jane gradually becomes the legend that is Calamity.
