Pferd am Stiel

About This Movie

Pferd am Stiel dives into the quirky world of hobbyhorsing, exploring a unique friendship between Sarah and Dilek. The film takes a light-hearted approach, almost whimsical at times, capturing the innocence of youth and the often self-imposed pressures of social media. The pacing has this pleasant rhythm, bouncing between the girls' attempts to create engaging content and Sarah's personal journey into a sport that seems silly at first. The practical effects, especially during the hobbyhorsing sequences, bring a tangible charm to the film. Performances are natural, capturing that genuine awkwardness of teenage life. It's distinctive in how it juxtaposes the digital landscape with something so tactile and rooted in imagination.
