Savage
A film by Léonore Mercier

The film immerses us in the free roaming of wild horses in the Spanish nature of Galicia. We enter their psychological, environmental and sonic world, breathing in harmony with them. The horse, animal of prey, has kept the flight instinct, with fear as an innate mechanism inscribed in his genes. This instinct will be challenged, captured in their green setting, they will be forced to participate in an initiatory tradition: “the shaving of the beasts”.
