2035: In the shadow of a race course, a young woman finds a robot on a scrap heap, contemplating the sky. Intrigued, she takes him under her care. Together, they decide to rescue the race horse named Today who is heading for the knackers' yard after a lifetime of overwork. To make Today happy again, they hatch a special plan to let her run another race.

But it will be no ordinary event- they will train her to run the slowest time of her life.

In the heat of the race, Coli feels Today running too fast. She is in pain and will soon injure herself.

To save his beloved horse, Coli will commit one final act of bravery ...

Radiant, urgent, deeply moving, A Thousand Blues is a hymn to our earth and to our humanity, giving powerful voice to those left behind in a fast forward-moving world of toxic productivity and competition. Brimming with heart and hope and rage, it shows with vivid empathy and warmth how friendship, community and sacrifice will set us free.
