When her father enlists to fight for the Brits during World War I, Sara Crewe (Liesel Matthews) goes to New York to attend her late mother's boarding school and clashes with an overbearing headmistress (Eleanor Bron), who attempts to stifle her creativity and sense of self-worth. But she's severely tested when word comes that her father has been killed in action -- and that his vast estate has been seized. Alfonso Cuarón directs.
