MARISOL, a young Latina, and the ranch foreman’s daughter, rescues a misunderstood horse that she names CANELA, from an untimely trip to the pet food factory. She’s helped by NICK, the ranch owner’s son, who’s secretly in love with her. Marisol rides Canela when no one is awake, flying through the woods and jumping downed trees and fences as if they were not there. Unknown to her, she’s seen on one of her very early morning rides by the Bryan’s horse trainer, FIONA.  Fiona recognizes her extreme talent and decides to train Marisol, much to the displeasure of CLAIRE, Nick’s sister, her friends and VICTORIA, Clair and Nick’s mother. Marisol, with Nick beside her, overcomes prejudice, sabotage, her own stubbornness and very long odds to find out where she belongs in this new world not usually attainable by a mere ranch foreman’s daughter. 

This coming of age love story is told with song and music, ala High School Musical. With its music, great visuals and compelling love story Marisol is an exciting film for the tween market.
