SYNOPSIS
When Mika and his
friend Dana discover a horse living in their apartment block, they form a
remarkable bond with the animal and determine to help its troubled owner.
Mika, a ten-year-old boy with Asperger’s
Syndrome, has always found it difficult to make friends — until he meets Dana,
a tell-it-like-it-is girl who thinks that the weirdest thing about Mika is that
he likes math. Hearing a strange sound outside his building one winter night,
Mika encounters the bizarre sight of a horse standing on a balcony across the
courtyard. Mika and Dana soon learn that the horse belongs to Sascha, a former
math teacher who won the horse in a lottery and is eager to sell it in order to
pay off a gambling debt. Forming a remarkable bond with the horse, Mika enlists
Dana in a bold plan to keep the animal and help Sascha out of his trouble. This
extraordinary tale of friendship reminds us that our differences are what make
us who we are.
