The work is monotonous and hard, the atmosphere on the farm is cold. As the youngest employee, Pavel struggles to connect with his older colleagues. When he learns that the dressage horse Milkyway is to be put down, the animal begins to occupy his thoughts – and seems to appear everywhere on the farm. A quiet bond forms between Pavel and the horse, growing into a gentle, wordless friendship. When Milkyway is finally taken away, Pavel falls back into his dull routine. But their connection has left its mark.

“Mistboy” is a fictional short film directed by Jakob Michal and produced by Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF. I’m happy to provide a screening link upon request.
