A black Trakehner mare named Carina saved Eva's life when she was young. Now Eva, daughter of a Prussian cavalry officer, needs to save her mare's life, if she can. It's 1945 and Eva, her family, and the horses join the refugees struggling across northern Europe, fleeing the advance of the Red Army. The horses walk carrying unborn foals, their shoes falling off, their legs injured, their bellies empty.
