Synopsis

Somewhat of a "horse whisperer", Irish-born Hugh MacDermott, a troubled yet determined young man, embarks on a solo journey across Argentina with his horse, Pancho. Struggling with his sexuality and the loss of his brother, he is spurred on through pure grit and determination to succeed, inspired by a string of strange coincidences linking to a beloved childhood book, 'Tschiffely’s Ride'.
A journey of self-discovery, grief, endurance and personal growth, Hugh faces unforeseen hardships of all kinds, both mentally and physically, his quest a metaphor for life. With little money and speaking little Spanish, he sleeps on the side of the road, going for days at a time not speaking to a soul aside from his horse. His story unfolds as he battles his way through “The Long Quiet”. Along the way, Hugh encounters a series of characters who shape his life as adopted father figures, and we witness the magical bond between man and horse, and the transformation from boy to man. Guided by the founder of the Long Riders’ Guild, his epic two-year journey emphasises the spiritual outcomes of equestrian travel, his achievement an extreme rarity, with only a handful of long riders in every generation.
