Gardener by day, plant activist by night. In Plantasia, we follow Michelle on his green life mission. Can activism truly change everything – or is it a fight against windmills? This short film playfully explores the idea that maybe, just maybe, dreams deserve to be treated as reality.

As „wings of men“ they became the faithful companion of a great nomadic nation thousands of years ago. Today, 28 years after the Soviet occupation, the little horse is an essential part of the cultural heritage and the search for identity of the modern Kyrgyz people. Based on its own story, a so called „good brown horse“ leads through the film and offers an insight of what it could mean to be „todays wings of men“. Told by a horse’s voice and through its eyes, this short film still is a documentary, but also a poetic journey to a nomadic culture.
