Synopsis
Rocco was a horse riding instructor and trainer. His successful career was suddenly crushed by a defamatory sentence for sports fraud and homicide: Fabrizio, Rocco's student, was thrown off his horse during a tournament. It was discovered that the horse had been doped. Rocco, although being innocent, took responsibility for the events and withdrew from the equestrian world. After eleven years, he returns to the stables he worked at for most his life, prior to the incident. He has to confront and deal with everyone who felt betrayed by him. But thanks to a young horse and a shy teenage girl with a natural talent for show jumping, Rocco tries to revive his career, to re-live the exciting preparations for the big tournaments. He knows that the true winner is not the one who walks away with the prize, but the one who follows his dreams.
