🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Zoltán Huszárik constructs the film as an associative montage, relies on rhythm and the plasticity of the frame to explore the mythological and historical image of the horse. He builds a philosophical statement without words, contrasting primal freedom with a mechanized present.

What lingers after the viewing is a hypnotic sense of time losing its linearity, where the true protagonist is the very essence of movement. It leaves a quiet melancholy for a connection with nature that feels lost. — MovieFinder Editorial
