sounddesign: John Roesch
score: Jurriaan Terpstra
production company: filmakademie baden-wuerttemberg
HORSEPOWER presents an artistic juxtaposition of horse and car. Two personal stories link one of the most primal means of transport to its mechanical descendant, reminding us of the origin of the latter. The film introduces Andreas Gruber and Hanna Meier. Andreas, who has been running a car workshop for over 30 years, specialises in one classic BMW model in particular – the E30. While taking us for a test drive in his freshly polished darling he tells us about his love for driving and repairing cars. As the engine noise blends into the sounds of galloping horses on grassland, the second protagonist is introduced. We are watching a polo match and Hanna comes into focus. She shares with us how she developed her love for riding, revealing her innermost feeling about her horse.
A deep love for horsepower is what unites the two characters.
