When her sibling Zara suffers a nervous breakdown, the introvert Eva is forced to take on Zara's job as a Foley artist. She struggles to create sounds for a commercial featuring a horse, and then a horsetail starts growing out of her body. Empowered by her tail, she lures a botanist into an affair, through a game of submission.

Winner of the Junior Jury Award at Locarno, Piaffe is a visceral journey into control, gender, and artifice. Tel Aviv born Ann Oren, a visual artist and filmmaker, creates “a celebration of kink, queerness, and the pleasures of unfurling like a fern into your final form” (Indiwire).
