Alone in the carousel with Furtivo, Tess takes her time. No lead rope, no stick. She just uses her eyes and her words to tame the frightened thoroughbred. She is patient, she doesn't mind waiting. She knows what waiting means.
Tess and Manuel have been trying to get pregnant for fifteen years. They share the same passion for horses and have learned to tame their feelings as well as the animals. However, Tess is wondering: what is the point of continuing? So, when a professional opportunity that she has been refusing
to consider for a long time, is presenting itself again, she begins to see the possibility for another life, in the world of equestrian shows. Even if it means getting away from Manuel, but hasn't she already waited too long to let this chance pass?
