Director's Statement
Our film follows up the question.
What did in fact happen to the horse?
Ohlsdorfer, the carter, and his daughter live out their lives on their farmstead.
They subsist on hard work: their only source of income is the horse and cart - that’s what they live on.
The father takes on carting jobs, his daughter takes care of the household.
It’s a very meagre life and infinitely monotonous.
Their practiced movements and the changes in seasons and times of day dictate the rhythm and routine which is cruelly inflicted on them.
The film portrays mortality, with that deep pain which we, who are under sentence of death, all feel.
