Omschrijving
Tagline: A carousel that doesn't just turn in circles – but moves hearts.
An old carousel holds more than painted horses and cheerful music: it is a prison for dreams, yet also a gateway to hope.
When twelve-year-old Shirzad discovers the horse Esperanza, she uncovers an incredible story – of decades of captivity, of longing for freedom, and of the unshakable belief in a better life. With every word Esperanza tells, it becomes clear: hope can survive even in the darkest of times. Thus, the carousel becomes a moving metaphor for courage, perseverance, and the strength of never giving up.
The beautiful and antique city carousel in the heart of Florence in Italy is under a magical spell. Miles away in Barcelona, Spain, a little girl named Shirzad receives a little carousel from her grandparents on Christmas Eve 2019. Once she starts to play the music, she is thrown into an unknown world with her new friend, the white horse, Esperanza, and a Tuscan girl named Mitra. The future of an entire generation lies in the hands of two young girls and a horse. Will the three be able to break the spell?
This story shows us that it is okay to be different. We shouldn't be afraid of leaving the circle of our daily lives and having new experiences. But we should always be aware that our actions have consequences. Selfish decisions affect others around us. So whatever wishes, goals and dreams we have, we should be prepared and ready to deal with the unforeseeable outcomes!
