The Legend of the Black Freighter: dreamed of by a serving girl in a tavern. One day it will come, level the tavern and its obnoxious clientele if not the whole town... and then declare the serving girl Pirate Queen and sail over the horizon with her. The scene changed from the forest we had been standing in to a room with a blanket of snow and white animals.
