Synopsis

The film immerses us in the free roaming of wild horses in Galicia. We enter their psychological, environmental, and sonic world, breathing in harmony with them. The horse, an animal of prey, has kept the flight instinct, with fear as an innate mechanism inscribed in its genes. This instinct will be challenged: captured, they will be forced to participate in an initiatory tradition: the shaving of the beasts.

Changing Rooms, by Violette Gitton

César is 12 when his older sister Lou is sexually assaulted. In the changing rooms of the fencing classes he attends, everything is measured by the yardstick of violence. César would like to take part in every fight, but he doesn’t have the weapons.
