This short movie, shot in Zenzalino (Ferrara), immersed in the foggy
Padana Plain, where Varenne, the most important trotter, was born and
lives, is a there and back equation: two continuous movements from the
left to right (about a couple of minutes) and the way back (about a
couple of minutes) and a perpendicular to the movements about four
minutes long. The landscape outside in the air, has already lost what it
was to foretell: it turns out to be its own ghost.
