Short film Beast
(Hæstkuk)

Dagne (13) has become highly competent and independent in her work at the stables. She and the other girls test their skills by pulling on the reins of the strongest horses. Within the group lies an expectation of what awaits them in adulthood. But when the 34-year-old blacksmith comes to the stables, the hazy fantasies of youth soon morph into harsh reality.
