Can one’s adolescent love which ended with separation flourish again after years? Julita and Stacy parted ways, but now they meet again at a stud farm where Julita is working together with her mother. Stacy comes from abroad to participate in an important competition. The infatuation is back, but is it worth the reopening of old wounds? Should they give it a second chance? This sensuous drama performed in half-tones makes it possible to look into less obvious places than the concrete of huge metropolises. Somewhere far away, among fields and beautiful horses, the silent, albeit poignant, story that unravels focuses on feelings, dreams, self-discovery, dealing with one’s own unfulfillment and finding hope in a horse’s eyes, full of wisdom and delicacy.
