Trailer

On 3rd January 1889, upon leaving a hotel in Turin, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche saw a horse being whipped by a coachman. Nietzsche tried to save the animal, but to no avail. More than that, he was also injured in the process. Soon, the philosopher was diagnosed with a chronic mental illness. Until the day of his death, Friedrich Nietzsche did not write a single page of text. The film itself focuses on the story of the coachman, his daughter and the title horse. The Turin Horse is an austere, harsh and enigmatic film.
