- Louis Meunier first landed in Afghanistan in 2002. A humanitarian contract in hand, he wishes to participate in the reconstruction effort of a land torn by war. The night before his departure to a far-flung corner of a country - his base for the next six months - a friend gives him a book: "The Horsemen" by Joseph Kessel. In this novel, Kessel tells the fiery story of the Afghan game of buzkashi, a mounted tournament whose name literally translates into "goat-grabbing" and in which riders use all their strength and violence to compete over the dead carcass of a goat. Captivated by the book, Louis has only one wish: take part in a buzkashi tournament. He will stay ten years in Afghanistan to fulfill his dream and become the only foreigner to be allowed to be part of a buzkashi team. In this award-winning documentary, Louis Meunier brings the magic of Kessel's book to the screen and shares the magic of a country known only for its four-decade long conflict.
