A girl and a filly embark on parallel journeys, facing new challenges and forging unexpected bonds in a foreign land.
Twelve-year-old Lidie leaves Brazil for New York, eager to reunite with her father and brother. But they still see her as a child, and the bustling city feels foreign. Meanwhile, a spirited filly named Wild Girl begins her own journey. As Lidie struggles to find her place, she forms a bond with the filly, determined to prove herself in a world that underestimates her. Can Lidie and Wild Girl overcome the odds and find freedom together? Discover a tale of courage, change, and the unbreakable spirit of a girl and her horse.
Lidie lives in Brazil, where she rides, a wild girl dreaming of going to live with her father, Pai, and older brother, Rafael, in New York City. Pai runs a stable at a famous race track. Since her mother died long ago, Lidie has lived with relatives. Now she’s 12–ready to leave Brazil for New York. Meanwhile, a filly is born and begins her journey to a new home. As Lidie’s story unfolds, so does the filly’s. In New York, Lidie finds that moving to another country is a big challenge. And Pai and Rafael still think of her as the little girl they left behind. But she’s determined to befriend, and ride, the spirited filly her father has just bought: Wild Girl.
