In post-war England, a war veteran, for whatever reasons, begins working on a farm that has seen better days. The new tenant, a somewhat cynical former British officer, realizes that he needs to revive the place and its hopes. However, when he’s offered the opportunity to participate in an enticing horse race with a thoroughbred that seems to have a bright future, things start to take an unexpected turn.
The horse, named Brandy, is a gift from the old owner of the farm, who firmly believes in its potential. Through a journey filled with twists and obstacles, our hero embarks on a determined plan to train Brandy, facing not only doubts about his ability as a trainer but also the prejudices of the local community that is suspicious of his past. As he becomes more integrated into the world of racing, he learns not only about the art of competition but also about the importance of friendship, redemption, and hope.
With a mix of humor and drama, the story showcases the protagonist's internal struggles, while the bond he forms with Brandy becomes a metaphor for his own personal fight. The big race turns into an emotional climax, where each rider and their horse face not only other competitors but also the demons of their past.
