Synopsis:
A young girl, Flo, tries to be friendly with an old horse kept in the stables of her riding school. She learns that this horse, Augustus, was once a world champion show jumper but is now crippled and bitter. Is it Flo's imagination or is there always the same magpie somewhere near this horse? Little does she know that the two animals are lifelong friends who share a magical secret, and that she is trying to find her way into more than simply the story of a once-famous horse now nicknamed 'peg leg Gus'... Martin Duffy is an award-winning filmmaker and writer born in Dublin and now living in Berlin. Most of his output in film and writing has been for young people, ranging from his feature film The Boy from Mercury to episodes for RT programmes such as Bosco, Wanderly Wagon and Fortycoats. Among his non-fiction work is a biography of his parents; Barney and Molly: A True Dublin Love Story.
