The film tells the inspiring true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely race horse bred by small town bartender, Jan Vokes (Academy Award® nominee Toni Collette). With very little money and no experience, Jan convinces her neighbors to chip in their meager earnings to help raise Dream and compete with the racing elites. Their investment pays off as Dream rises through the ranks and becomes a beacon of hope in their struggling community.
"Hywl" is a Welsh word that is described on-screen as a "feeling of emotional motivation and energy" - and Dream Horse has certainly imbued its likeable story with plenty of "hwyl".
