exground filmfest 25 presents the award-winner of the "Student-Oscar" in silver: OF DOGS AND HORSES, Thomas Stuber’s diploma film, based on a short story by Clemens Meyer.
The film tells us about Rolf, whose happiness is in his dog Piet. Other than that life didn’t have much in store for the unemployed widower. But now Piet is seriously ill, and only an expensive operation could save his life. Rolf has no clue how to find that kind of money and asks an old buddy to help him take chances at betting on horse races. He is willing to give everything for his only companion …
In calm black-and-white tableaux Thomas Stuber impressively tells the story of a big and deep friendship – in images of tremendous emotional expressiveness, also showing immense solitude.
