Project Title: BALENTÌA

Brief Synopsis: Anna is only nine years old, but she has a dream as big as a race through the alleys of her hometown: to become a jockey. In a world that tells her “you can’t,” Anna runs anyway, driven by the power of imagination and the courage in her heart. With the help of a friend and the inspiration of those who came before her, she discovers that there are no wrong dreams—only dreams worth chasing. Balentia is a tale of childhood courage, where the only rule is to fully believe in what you love—and to dream, always.
