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.
