A beautiful protagonist ( played by one of France's best contemporary actresses), a handsome horse trainer who suffers a terrible riding accident, beautiful French countryside and a magnificent horse! What can go wrong? Alot...the story stretches believability because not enough time is spent developing the characters. We see the woman going to the office then home...the man adapting to life post accident and relying on long suffering and underappreciated helper Antoine. We're expected to believe that the woman is convinced to ride the powerful and spirited horse with no experience and not only ride like an expert but also fall in love with the horse and presumably the trainer? Meanwhile, the woman realizes that her job sucks and is corrupt and stops loving her home life with zero reason...cut to bizarre and way too long boat scene where the woman clutches man's hand to her face? Trying to be arty? There is zero chemistry between the 2 leads..oh and I forgot to mention the woman is a concert pianist in her spare time? Silly scenes where her boss is yelling at her in front of everyone to show how mean the corp world is.. swing and a miss for me...
