Director: Sundvall, Kjell
Production company: Filmlance Int. AB
Age recommendation: 10 years and up

Synopsis:
Thinks of nothing but horses ... might not apply to 10-year-old Magda, but is certainly true of her father Fredrik. He’s crazy about the creatures. So much so, in fact, that he doesn’t even notice how lonely Magda is. At bingo with her granny, Magda meets Helena. The two become friends. Helena has an eye for Magda’s dad, but he thinks of nothing but horses. With his stables facing bankruptcy, Fredrik has to win a crucial race. At the same time, Magda is training for her school’s 60-metre sprint.

Comments:
Director Kjell Sundvall steers a fine course between child-friendly entertainment and adult-friendly rom-com that works as a delight for all the family. (production note)
