A mythologically-inflected rural drama about a man's transgressive act and its rippling consequences, grounded in the landscape and culture of Kyrgyzstan.

Centaur lives a modest life with his family in rural Kyrgyzstan until he abruptly becomes the center of attention when he is caught stealing a racehorse at night. A story inspired by the myth when horses became the wings of men.
