Synopsis

A heart-warming bond between boy and animal develops in this drama set against a beautiful African backdrop. Unusually, this is told from the point of view of the animal, a horse called Lucky. Separated from his mother while still a foal, Lucky ends up alone in a mining community where he forges a strong friendship with an orphaned boy. Life is confusing and sometimes dangerous for the young horse, not least when war breaks out.
