SYNOPSIS

Margarita, a 22-year-old autistic woman balances early adulthood, her first job, and the uncertainty surrounding her mother's health. When she discovers the world of competitive hobby horse dancing, what starts as curiosity becomes a lifeline of movement, craft, and community. As she trains and finds her footing among people who provide encouragement and care, Margarita gains greater confidence and autonomy, creating a future shaped less by expectation and more by her own rhythm, choices, and joy.
