Crin Blanc

Quinzaine 2007 | Short film | 0h40

In the Camargue, in southern France. Crin Blanc is a magnificent stallion who leads a free herd of horses and is too proud to be broken in by men. Preserving his wild nature, he only allows himself to be tamed by Falco, a young fisherman. An incredible friendship grows between boy and wild horse. Together they set off in pursuit of a freedom men will not allow them.
