Windstorm 2

During the summer break, Mika reunites with her beloved Windstorm and hopes for a quiet season. But the horse carries fresh wounds on his belly, and no one can explain their origin. Kaltenbach stands on the edge of bankruptcy, and Mika feels the weight of her town. She signs up for a high prize money variety tournament, hoping to save Kaltenbach from ruin. Training becomes tense as Windstorm grows distracted and prone to bolting. Mika chases him into the forest and discovers a mysterious gray mare hiding in the undergrowth, with the two horses sharing a wary bond. A boy named Milan appears, claiming the mare escaped from him and that he can help Mika win, while the clock ticks on Kaltenbach's future. The looming deadline raises the stakes and tests Mika's resolve.

Released in 2015, Windstorm 2 is directed by Katja von Garnier and adapts the Windstorm stories created by Lea Schmidbauer and Kristina Magdalena Henn. Garnier brings brisk pacing, vibrant outdoors, and a strong focus on Mika's determined spirit.
