action
Twelve-year-old Hansi and his sister Mariele, who was a few years older than him, lost their parents in an avalanche accident. Since then the boy has been given the task of looking after the farm animals, which he loves above all else. His schoolwork suffers as a result, so that the old teacher, who has no understanding for animals, often gives him detention. Hansi's relationship with his school only changes when the old teacher is replaced by a young one. One day he even accompanies the boy up to the lonely Moosleitner farm. There he befriends Hansi's sister quickly.
Vitus Zingerl, an Italian cross-border commuter, also works on the farm from time to time. Hansi and his dog Griffin instinctively dislike this person. Not without good reason, because Zingerl is the leader of a gang of thieves who have already managed several times to smuggle horses from Tyrol to Italy. But Zingerl wants to land the really big coup next spring, when the farmers have herded their horses to the unguarded alpine pastures.
Finally the time has come. Zingerl and his cronies plan to drive a whole herd across the border from the neighboring alpine pasture. With the help of a wire rope hoist, the gang succeeds in bringing the horses over the Geyerschlucht to the neighboring country.
The theft is a mystery to almost all of the villagers. Only Hansi has a suspicion and does everything in his power to track things down with his loyal dog Greif, especially because his mare Flora and the beloved foal Hanno also fell victim to the raid. Greif smells the trail and leads his master over the Geyerschlucht to South Tyrol. There the dog very soon tracks down the mare in a barn.
Hansi arrives with the animals in the village late in the evening. There he exposes Zingerl and his accomplices. Nevertheless, the boy feels no joy; because the law requires that a newborn foal is to be delivered to the state stud as soon as it can be separated from the mother. And this is so far tomorrow. Because of his heroic behavior, however, the state stable master has an understanding and leaves the foal in the care of the boy.
Production notes

The film was shown in northern Germany under the title Young Heart Full of Love and in southern Germany under the Austrian title Der Haflinger Sepp .
criticism
The lexicon of international film draws the following conclusion: “Very simple, but with human warmth and gentle tension, staged youth film.” The Evangelical Film Observer comes to a similar assessment: “Animals, animal lovers, a love story and horse theft, of course is revealed by the 12-year-old hero of the film, in a rather mediocre Heimat film with beautiful animal shots.
