In this intimate documentary by Eva Sjerps you see how horses from a small herd are used for coaching sessions with young people with various problems. The horses respond to inconsistencies between behavior and underlying feelings, causing the young people to confront underlying patterns, themes and feelings. How do the horses react to the young people? And what does the reaction of the horses bring about in the young people? The sessions are observed up close and depicted in a sensory way.
