Drifting over a wintry terrain with the angelic vocals of Sumney pitted against it, we explore a horse stable tucked away in a rural, frozen landscape. We find Moses underneath the snowfall sharing a spiritual moment with a horse. The two are isolated together in a dreamlike montage and share a hypnotic bond that borders on the romantic as Moses cares for the horse. But when the two are separated, there is a lingering tension that invites the viewer to explore its nuance. Moses leaves the warmth of the stable to his secluded hideaway where he keeps his trophy-the lifeless body of a horse pinned up as a sculpture. It's terrifying, yet symbolic as Moses' stoic character reflects on his work. (South by Southwest Film Festival)
