Edition screened: Second Run DVD #110, released 2016. Hungarian language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 88 minutes.
Summary: A horse is killed.
Details: Two horses hitched to a logging wagon are beaten, starting at 23:13. The wagon turns over onto the horses crushing and killing at least one of them. We see a final image of the dead horse under the wagon and its load at 23:53.
There are no special effects here, and this horrible incident is very real. It is one of several scenes showing that the horses are treated badly by the logging company. I presume this might have been a genuine accident during filming, and the atrocious consequents were kept as a detail in the film.
