Alex is 16 years old and struggling to stay on the right path. Forever getting into trouble and with little interest in school education, she is sent to work on a farm in Germany in a bid to rehabilitate her. Nina is showing her the ropes and introduces her to the beauty of horses, allowing her to experience the joy of riding, while also opening her mind to Nina's own life back in the city with her partner Christine. As much as Alex finds it difficult to settle in this isolated location, she soon finds peace in her equine company, but when a new girl arrives to help out, Alex is less than impressed. It doesn't take long for her to warm to Kathy though, with her childish curiosity and awe over Alex's tough persona, and they become best of friends. But with very little but each other to distract them, their relationship soon grows intense.
