The Girl and the Horse

Synopsis

The Girl and the Horse is a simple yet stunning tale of a small girl's search for contentment and the love she feels for her horse.
 
As the story unfolds she realises that the material things in life such as cakes, coins and pretty dresses will not necessarily make her feel literally whole and happy. The only thing that can fill the literally empty void of her unhapiness is her wonderful friendship with her horse.

Director: Juan Pablo Bedoya

Year: 2026

Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness. When they cannot repay him, he persuades them to send their underage daughters to work as maids to pay off the debt. Ultimately, he sexually enslaves them and throws them out on the street when they become pregnant. His latest victim is Cira, an 11-year-old blackberry picker whose mother has pawned their home and land. After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice. After a long court battle, justice has finally been served, but not for everyone. Based on a real story.
