- Synopsis
- Every child wants a horse, and Arana, a young Mayan Indian boy living in a Guatemalan village, is no exception. From his grandfather he hears tales of his people's past greatness. He hears, too, stories of how the Spanish soldiers came, mounted on their horses, and conquered his ancestors, who had never seen horses and were afraid. One day in the forest with his father he sees a danta, a little wild animal native to Guatemala that is known as a river horse. Arana returns to the forest on his own to try to capture the little danta and have the rare river horse for his own.
