    Marta MINOROWICZ 2016 Poland, Germany Documentary color 85min Mongolian DCP
    11-year old Sukhbat lives on the vast Mongolian steppe together with his nomadic family and their livestock. Life is harsh and the increasingly unrelenting winters have killed off huge hoards of the family‘s livestock. Sukhbat‘s father has no other choice than to look for other ways to survive. Victory in the regional horse races would bring wealth and prestige to the family. He trains Sukhbat to tame a wild horse in a bid to win the race, putting the family‘s hopes and future into the child‘s hands.
