Don’t Look Round, a Horse Follows Us!

Jiří Hanibal, 1979

Summary

Brothers Petr and Pavel collect scrap paper to buy a lottery ticket in the hope of winning a go-kart. But as it turns out, they win the second prize – a real, live horse. Fortunately, their parents have nothing against keeping Ferda, who ends up living in a shed in the courtyard of their Malá Strana, Prague home; until one day, the horse disappears. The boys employ all of their classmates in searching for the lost Ferda, as well as a pretty girl with a ponytail… This light 1979 comedy was directed by seasoned children’s film director Jiří Hanibal and written by Zdeněk Mahler. Jan Potměšil and Karel Roedl (who unlike his co-star never went on to become an adult actor) star as the young protagonists. Milena Dvorská and Jan Faltýnek play their parents.
