Summaries

Poland, during the World War. Lotna is a magnificent specimen of Arabian horse, the pride of her owner, too old to actually ride her but to whom she remains faithful nevertheless. The Polish cavalry army is also proud of their land, and loyal to rules, and custom. The German army is leading an overwhelming speed attack with tanks, an almost unheard of weapon, and bringing a way of life to an end. It's the last battle between Lotna (speed horse) and Blitzkriega (speed war).—Artemis-9

Set in the beginning of the Wold War II, when Polish cavalry still fights with lances against the first German foot troops. Soon tanks give Germans the superiority and crush the daring horsemen. Tale is about a white thoroughbred horse that passes to various hands in a military outfit.—Polish Cinema Database <http://info.fuw.edu.pl/Filmy/>
