Based on Eric Knight's 1938 novel about a trusty pooch, "Lassie Come-Home," the film is set on the eve of WWII in a Yorkshire mining town. The Carraclough family is forced to sell Lassie to the Duke of Rudling when the family falls on hard times. When Lassie finds herself transported five hundred miles away to live in the Duke's remote castle in northern Scotland, she is determined to defy the odds and return to her home and the boy she loves. So begins an incredible adventure, set against a stunning series of British landscapes that sees Lassie facing dangers natural and human and finding help in unexpected places as she makes her way across the country, to reach home in time for Christmas.

Lassie might be a doggo that has been the subject of a movie a thousand times. But even the thousandth time over, I still like this story. In this case, it’s purely thanks to the nice fairy-tale atmosphere and the nature of Scotland and Ireland. That was certainly a pleasure to behold. And the well-known family story of a dog that returned to its master is a cherry on the pie. The medieval-fairy-tale atmosphere and the beautiful nature do the trick. Yeah, I must admit that, to my pleasure, Peter Dinklage did a lot with his traveler character. Well, once you are touched by Game of Thrones, it’s hard to see the actors in a different light in other movies.
