Little Ansgar adores horses and dreams of nothing else than winning a race one day. However, the little Kazakh boy has never been allowed to have his own horse for various reasons, mainly because he is still too young. But one day, a good friend of his father secretly gives the family a horse named Fleck. Now the horse is here and Ansgar is very happy. But unfortunately he has to share Fleck with his older brother. The resulting problems are quickly foreseeable. While Ansgar is fighting for the right to ride the horse, Fleck suffers a life-threatening injury. Although the horse has already been written off, the boy cares for it with great affection, nurses it back to health and learns to take responsibility. During this time, he meets Meili, a girl who is looking for her father. The two children become friends and Ansgar decides not only to finally take part in a race with Fleck, but also to help Meili fulfil her big dream of finding her father.
