Leap of Faith - 少女与马
A film by YANG Lina
2022 | China | 102 min | Documentary
Six teenage girls in China learn to ride horses, compete in matches, build friendships, and deal with loss, all seen from a mother’s eye.
These 6 teenage girls are both students and excellent riders. They are lucky to be accompanied by horses compared with their peers. Their unique stories with their horse buddies, their tears and sweat for the rider’s competition, and the loss and departure they have to deal with at such a young age, are all recorded on film.
Through the film, we see love and trust between girls and horses, the growing pains during the pivotal moments, and their ideals and social responsibility for our future, which are merged into the song of life written in 2019.
