Description

Is it possible to talk with animals? Following this question, the filmmaker explores different forms of communication between humans and animals. She wants to calm down her excited dog Bina and learn how to communicate with her nonverbal. The journey leads her from Switzerland to England and to Arizona. She meets an animal communicator — Sedona's own Maia Kincaid — two horse teachers, a biologist, an animal therapist and the founder of "The Trust Technique“. On eye level with dogs, horses, cats, dolphins and a goat, she uncovers their authentic, sensitive ways of being and learns a lot from Bina and other animal companions.
