A meditative visual poem tracing the horse through human history, blending archival imagery and artistic montage into a wistful meditation on time, civilization, and loss.

Often called a “film poem” or a “film symphonie” Huszárik’s masterpiece consists of montages of horses from the dawn of time to the modern times from cave paintings to horse races.
