Mark, approximately 10 years old, goes to live with his aunt Fiona, a crabby loner. Fiona, a naturalist, lives on an island and studies horses. Fiona takes over Mark's education. As their relationship matures, Mark and Fiona face a crisis: one of the island's wild horses has been orphaned. The foal will not survive without their help, yet they are forbidden from interfering in the horses' lives.

A simple, stark beauty - very well done

I would most highly recommend this movie. It is beautifully done and sets a touching and thoughtful mood. We happened upon this movie as In-flight entertainment returning from Ireland and were impressed by it's simple, stark beauty.
