A Horse on the Balcony (2012)
Mika (10) is different: he loves math, only tells the truth, and notices things other people miss. Though not so good with people, he’d really like some friends. One night he discovers a horse on the balcony of the next apartment. The horse belongs to Sascha, who‘s in big trouble. Mika spends all his spare time with the stallion, and the first time he sits on the animal‘s back he is completely transformed. He and his friend Dana decide to help find a new home for the racehorse, but this means rescuing the horse from two gangsters who are owed money by Sascha.
