Of Girls and Horses

This beautiful drama from Monika Treut deftly unfolds the coming-of-age of rebellious teen Alex. Sent away by her mother to a horse farm in the country, Alex keeps up her bad girl ways but is gradually enamored with the horses - and with the resident lesbian riding instructor, Nina. As Nina maintains her boundaries and tries to help Alex find purpose and maturity in her life, the arrival of privileged young equestrian Kathy presents new challenges as Alex grapples with her longing for love and connection. German with subtitles.
