Synopsis
Time-lapse documentary about the most well-known Czech woman jockey and trainer of racehorses, Martina Růžičková, and the twice over Formula 1 world champion, Miki Häkinnen. Thanks to Martina’s unselfish attempt to help saving one particular horse, a man turned up one day who wanted to thank Martina for her care and asked her what she would like above all else. The answer was: “To ride in the Great Pardubice Steeplechase again as I’ve never managed to complete the course.” The man in question didn’t hesitate for a moment and he bought Martina a steeplechaser. This unknown gent who bought the horse for the Great Pardubice Steeplechase was no other than Miki Häkinnen. From that moment their lives were intertwined and we watch how both of them get on.
