Longings...

Wooden horse lives behind a window. Behind a window with a view onto a small, a very small part of a village with a population of 300 souls, situated close to the end of the habitable world.
Wooden horse was never granted a real perspective. The horizon, naturally limited by greatly stretched piles of stones, restricts his outlook onto the world... a narrow valley determines his focus. The view onto the colourful plastic globe "Made in China", however, awakens longings. It tells him that out there, beyond the greatly stretched piles of stones, there must be something else... something exciting, something new, something unknown, something pulsating - something called "life".
