Die Pferdeinsel

Katja Steinfurth tries hard to reconcile her love relationship with her married boss and her obligations as a single mother - not always with success. When Tibor, the favorite horse of her son Lukas, behaves strangely aggressive after an accident and is to be euthanized, the horse whisperer Nils Peterson seems to be the last salvation. So Katja sets off with Lukas and Tibor on the way to the "horse island". And in the seclusion of the small picturesque island, the young woman gradually realizes that something has to change in her life.

Directed by Josh Broecker, Die Pferdeinsel leans on a strong ensemble — Hannes Jaenicke, Muriel Baumeister, Maurice Teichert — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2006.
