Only on Earth

Robin Petré (From the Wild Sea, SFF 2021) transports viewers to the hills of Southern Galicia, home to the largest number of wild horses in Europe. These horses play a crucial role in reducing the impact of wildfires, through eating and trampling flammable plants – but their numbers are dwindling. When the hottest summer on record arrives, unprecedented fires rage. Petré gives equal attention to the region’s noble beasts as to the residents, including a horse veterinarian, a plucky, young, would-be cowboy, and a firefighter on the disaster’s frontlines. Moving between the anthropic and animal perspectives, the profound but fragile balance that binds us with the land is made powerfully tangible.
