A tradition dating back five centuries where herds are gathered to clean the horses, cut their manes, and deworm them before returning them to the bush. This documentary follows the wild horses of the region and the community’s fight to preserve a centuries-old festival that defines their identity. As the modern world's expansion of wind farms, the stakes grow higher. Featuring intimate interviews with villagers, such as aloitadores like Carlos and his daughter Alba, and experts like Jorge, a horse whisperer, and Laura. an animal conservationist. A Rapa captures raw energy and emotional struggle to protect land and tradition.",
