In Bow and Arrow, spectators are invited into a real-life environment, a horse center in the north of Norway. At Bjørkengen farm, the biologist Tiu Simæle and the doctor Anders Svensson are conducting a treatment project for disadvantaged youth, where various types of work with horses are in focus. Caring for the horses, horseback riding, horse massage and arrow-and-bow shooting are some of the activities the youngsters get to try. On the farm, they also offer equine-assisted psychotherapy, a form of treatment in which the horse's ability to read and understand body language is used to visualize human behavioral patterns. By means of the minimalist plot and careful camera work, the film's strength lies in how it allows the environment and the landscape to speak for itself, and even more "directly" so than if it were presented in traditional narrative or documentary.
