It's only when we slow down that we can truly experience joy ...

2035: In the shadow of a race-course, two sisters grow up, helping their mother at the local cafe that serves renowned ramen. Family life is fractious especially when one of them loses their day-job to an automaton.

When the sisters discover their beloved race-horse Today is being sent to the knacker's yard after a lifetime of over-racing, they are determined to rescue her.

To remind Today of happier times, they hatch a plan to let her run one last race. But it will be no ordinary event.

They will train her to run the slowest race of her life.

A Thousand Blues

Cassandra Tang

Flying manes and rolling muscles, white flower petals falling from the fringe trees and scattering in the breeze the roar of the crowd - they all came together like an Impressionist painting and took hold of her.  

Horses had evolved over thousands of years only to land in these narrow stalls. 

We‘re three-dimensional beings, let’s not get our feelings hurt by silly one dimensional words. 

Happiness cures all ills. It is the only thing that is more powerful than going back to the past. 

You do not have to run if it hurts too much. You are already on track. That is more than enough.
