No other country brings so many foals into the world, no other country exports as many horses and nowhere else in the world is there such a rich and diverse horse culture as in Argentina. The film, which is part of the series "Under the Spell of Horses", gives the viewer a glimpse of three very different worlds: the gauchos in the pampa, the exclusive polo scene and the daily fight for survival of the "Cartoneros", the rubbish collectors in the gigantic city of Buenos Aires.

Director Thomas Wartmann tells a personal story from each of these worlds, and all of them end with a small dream coming true.
