Following the Ostwind legacy, this film has everything that makes a film great. Fine acting, beautiful scenery, and more superb music from Annette Focks. The main theme which leads to the climax is the nasty business of animal abuse. There is also a "spiritual" aspect to these films, as Mika has a special connection to Ostwind. This film and the others in the series are geared towards teen girls, but it's enjoyable for everyone. I will say though that this is best viewed in the original German. (Windstorm in English). I had to order the DVD set from Europe and a special player, but the dialogue truly is lost in English translation, as are all these films. Highly recommended.
