Synopsis
In Marl, Germany, a lone horse sculpture stands in an empty city square. Surrounding it are Brutalist buildings, remnants of the city’s post-industrial era. Once thriving from the mining industry, Marl now shows signs of economic decline. The film questions the purpose of public art in this context, focusing on equestrian sculptures and the authority behind public space. Director Melanie Manchot examines how these artworks reflect the city's past and present.
