Acclaimed lesbian director Monica Treut returns with the release of Wolfe Video’s LBGT drama OF GIRLS AND HORSES, available on DVD and digitally in the US on June 30th.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Featuring a quartet of talented stars, this under-stated drama from prolific lesbian filmmaker Monika Treut deftly unfolds the coming-of-age of rebellious teen Alex (popular German TV star, Ceci Chuh). Sent away by her mother to a horse farm in the country, Alex keeps up her bad girl ways but is gradually enamored with the horses – and with the resident lesbian riding instructor, Nina (the stunning Vanida Karun) who is taking a break from her partner Christine (the equally beautiful Ellen Grell). As Nina maintains her boundaries and tries to help Alex find purpose and maturity at this crucial moment in her life, the arrival of privileged young equestrian Kathy (Alissa Wilms) presents new challenges and opportunities for Alex as she grapples with her longing for love and connection. A beautiful drama.’
Writer/director/producer Treut (My Father Is Coming, Gendernauts, Dr. Paglia) is a pioneer of international LBGT cinema, and returns once again with a transcendent story of lesbian love, innocence, and the universal struggle to find a place in the world.
