Neera is a young girl who becomes seperated from her father in Arabia during World War II. Left alone in the desert, she befriends a wild colt, who she names Shetan. Once reunited with her father, however, Neera remains haunted by images of "the lost horse of the desert". This is the prequel to the 1979 movie 'The Black Stallion' and shows the relationship between the stallion and the young girl who have come together, as if by destiny.
