A HORSE ON THE BALCONY

10-year-old Mika can only speak the truth and notices things that others can't. He has no friends until he finally makes friends with Dana, the outspoken girl next door. One evening, Mika hears neighing and sees a real horse on the neighbour's balcony. Sascha has won it in a raffle and plans to sell the animal for his gambling debts. Quickly, a deep bond develops between the boy and the horse. Dana and Mika decide to save the horse before it is too late.
