Set in the remote Tsakhir Valley of Mongolia, this documentary follows a young man named Batbold. He faces a significant struggle to keep a herd of one thousand horses alive during a winter that is recorded as the harshest in history.

The film was directed by Kasimir Burgess, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Ed Cavanough. This production followed Burgess's previous work, Lone Rider, which was released in 2007.
