    • Synopsis
    • Saina tries to make ends meet as a herdsman in the wintry steppes of Inner Mongolia. By day, he takes care of his family’s horses while juggling a grumpy father and a dysfunctional relationship with his ex-wife. At night, he performs in breathtaking horseback shows. Unlike the majestic cavalryman he portrays in the show, Saina must come to terms with how dramatically the world he grew up in has changed.
