On the black earth of Germany's agricultural heartland stands a medieval castle. Upstairs live seven teenagers and their carers. The boundaries of life are school and chat room, clandestine date and job interview. We see the year pass and the world grow with us.

Most of us know that, in 2014, Brazil held one of the biggest sport events of the earth: the FIFA World Cup. What fewer people know is that, few months before that, another World cup was held there: The Street Child World Cup. 230 boys and girls aged between 12 to 16 years, from 19 different countries and from very complicated social environments, gathered in the beautiful and vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro to play football, meet and have fun. Zebras show the journey of the kids of the Argentinian National Soccer Team and the amazing experience they lived a world away from their homes, trying achieve their hopes and dreams while facing their limitations and fears.

A select group of Gypsies and Traveling families of the British Isles have devoted generations to developing a special type of horse. The age of motorcars changed the role of the horse drawn living wagon to an elaborate decorative cultural icon used mainly for holidays and festivals. The horses originally bred to pull these wagons have also evolved to compliment the art of the wagons. A chance meeting in England eventually brought these wonderful horses to America and ignited a passion in horse lovers from all walks. A new breed has been established around this magical gentle horse now known as the Gypsy Vanner Horse.
