Eve and the Fire Horse (2005) — English/Cantonese
Eve and the Fire Horse is a whimsical Canadian drama written and directed by Vancouver-based Julia Kwan. The film serves as a true melting pot of story telling as it uses imagination and honesty flawlessly.

The great thing is that anyone, from any religion or at any age, should be able to both understand and relate to the film.
