Children of Genghis (2017)
Since time immemorial, the Mongolian people have had three cultural games played during times of festivities: Mongolian wrestling, racing horses and archery. This story focuses on the horse racing tradition. The town's best horse race trainer, Bold, has many people gathered at his house for a special announcement. After bragging about his horses and skills, he talks about his most prized horse, the brown steed that still has yet to find a rider. After hearing this, the townspeople recommend Dambii's eldest son Dorj to be the rider. All of Dambii's sons have a knack for the horse and when Bold recruites Dambii's eldest son, his middle son Byambaa is angry that he wasn't chosen and storms off. Byambaa still has things to learn about tradition, culture and family.
