Placed in the alluring town of Devon, the story begins when Albert, the son of a drunken farmer, sees the birth of Joey and is intrigued by the origin of life in front of him. As Ted Narracott— Albert's father —takes home the wrong breed of horse, his family experiences an economic collapse. A thoroughbred clearly wouldn't plough land, would it? How was he supposed to pay rent if he can't even use the land he's paying for? Nevertheless, Albert trains him and makes the impossible happen. When Captain Nicholls who was going to war, buys Joey from the Narracotts, the two were split apart leaving Albert devastated.
Through endless struggles and amazing breakthroughs, the separation of the two has touched a million hearts all over the world. This film reveals the talented yet unpolished acting of a young Albert Narracott who was played by Jeremy Irvine, a Chopard Trophy winner, and has successfully reflected genuine emotions as if it is real. Not forgetting the fact that Joanna Johnston's costumes were precise and the shocking truth that it was all hand sewn down to the very last detail. All the hard work certainly paid off with the construction of an actual windmill and the naturalistic sets throughout the movie. The combination of these factors has definitely brought the movie to life!
Follow Albert and Joey through an adventure beyond expectation and wonder. You'd want to see the moral values hidden behind every action of this movie, the small little snippets of happiness that was eventually taken by the war. This movie of faith, loyalty, courage and the never-ending friendship between two individuals who worked very hard to get to where they are. Fans of historical fiction will be thrilled by this extraordinary movie, don't miss it!
