Lula gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but a series of misfortunes will separate the single woman from her children. The beautiful and composed Rasha will grow up with a wealthy family, while hot-headed and courageous Pancho ends up learning life the hard way. All the while Sam and Sarah find themselves caught up in the lives of these two separated twins whom unknowingly search for completion. When, years later, the children’s paths finally cross, a personal journey begins while the adults are left to face their inner demons.

Spanning a period of more than thirteen years, this is a compassionate reflection of parenthood gone amiss, loss and redemption, choreographed to stunning cinematography which follows a touching narrative full of unexpected twists of fate. Shot against locations which move a Hungarian town to the Atlantic coast, and a seductive cinematography capturing equestrian wonder, GALLOPING MIND is a passionate yet furious melodrama that explores the random of society.
