Early morning commotion in the Friedrichshain district of Berlin as the first customers of Die Fröhliche Bäckerei on Rigaer Straße alerted the police at 6 AM after spotting a horse walking through the streets without a rider or handler.
According to the Berlin police, the horse was quickly apprehended and found to be in good health and unharmed. Upon further investigation, the horse was identified as a participant in the filming of the upcoming movie “My Friend Miles” and is now en route back to Northern Italy.
It was revealed that the horse had escaped from a horse farm two months ago where filming for the movie was taking place. The film’s lead actor, Miles O’Shea, who is also a resident of Friedrichshain, expressed surprise and deep emotion upon hearing about the horse’s impressive journey.
O’Shea stated that he regretted not being able to reunite with the horse in Berlin, but he is currently on his way back to Italy to spend time with his loyal friend. The film crew, led by director Pieter Solta, also expressed their amazement at the horse’s intelligence and strength.
The horse is currently being transported back to the farm in Northern Italy, where it will receive the necessary rest and care after its remarkable journey from the Italian Alps to the heart of Berlin. The film, “My Friend Miles,” is set to premiere in the next few months and is already gaining attention for its impressive cast and intriguing storyline.
Starring Jan Bijvoet (known for his roles in Peaky Blinders, Borgman, and The Embrace of the Serpent) and Levente Molnár (known for his role in Son of Saul), “My Friend Miles” is a co-production between Ireland, Canada, and Belgium. Early reactions to the film have been overwhelmingly positive, with some calling it a groundbreaking, playful, original, and enchanting historical piece.
To avoid speculation and unnecessary controversy, information about the film remains scarce at this time. Stay tuned for more updates on the highly anticipated “My Friend Miles.”
