It’s a haunting exploration of the bond between the local horsemen and their steeds, set against the backdrop of a landscape that’s both breathtaking and isolating. The film's pacing is quite contemplative, allowing you to soak in the rich Tibetan culture and the spiritual connection these people have with horses.
