While traveling with his father, young Alec becomes fascinated by a mysterious Arabian stallion that is brought on board and stabled in the ship he is sailing on. When it tragically sinks both he and the horse survive only to be stranded on a deserted island. He befriends it, so when finally rescued both return to his home where they soon meet Henry Dailey, a once successful trainer. Together they begin training the horse to race against the fastest ones in the world.

A young boy’s silent, wide-eyed connection with a wild Arabian horse captures the raw ache of survival on a deserted island. This visual poem relies on breathtaking cinematography and animal chemistry rather than dialogue to tell its heart-wrenching story.
