Description
Ralph Thomas's life has been haunted by a mysterious horse ever since he was a child. A vivid drawing on his mother's Everything Wall at an Indigenous reserve sparked questions that have lingered for years.
On a bitterly cold morning, Ralph is startled to see the same horse in a graffiti alleyway. He strikes up a conversation with a homeless man who recognizes the image and shares his own story. As they talk over hot coffee, Ralph's memories of Danielle, the girl who drew the horse, come flooding back.
This poignant and magical tale explores themes of identity, community, and the power of art to transcend time and circumstance.
