Synopsis
On the frozen steppe of Mongolia people‘s lives are at the mercy of the seasons and unexpected events, while nature dictates the rules of their nomadic lifestyles.

When given the responsibility by his father to tame a wild horse in a bid to win a regional race, he has to face a life ruled by unforgiving
nature and tradition. No one remains unscathed after being confronted by the power of the steppe.
