Synopsis

Ine Onoda, the eldest daughter of a poor family of farmers, raises a colt from birth and comes to love the horse dearly. When the horse is grown, the government orders it auctioned and sold to the army. Ine struggles to prevent the sale... Akira Kurosawa was an assistant director, as he had been on over a dozen other films by his mentor Kajiro Yamamoto, and this was his first credited work as a screenwriter. While not officially credited as a director, it’s known Yamamoto allowed Kurosawa to take over direction at some point in the shoot, potentially as a test to see how well he could carry a feature, which would lead to his actual debut with 'Sanshiro Sugata' exactly 2 years later.
