A young man believes that his deceased mother may now be a horse, and now he wants to be one too.
Set around the bread-hat wearing, pine cone painting, sap cake eating "Saint Rumpus Day" celebrations, a young farm boy named Arto has difficulty getting into the festive spirit. With his mother now deceased, Arto's grieving process has brought him to the point where he believes his mother has become a horse. Based on the folklore he was told as a kid, he must come to terms with the fact that in order to see her again, he must also join the horses.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
