My Native Soil

Because taming and caring for the wild horses is demanding, they are released back into the mountains before winter arrives, left to their fate in the hope of capturing them again the following year. Witnessed through the eyes of a young boy, this story explores, through images, the delicate balance between nature and humanity, and the tension between ownership and freedom.

A night watchman with dark circles under his eyes from a lack of sleep faces the danger of being fired from his irregular job. Desperate to get his hands on the red prescription drug in order to set everything right, he obsessively tries every possible way. Events surrounded by tension trap him in a blissful state between fantasy and reality.
