Manden Centaur lever et simpelt liv med sin døve kone og lille søn i det landlige Kirgisistan, indtil han pludselig bliver genstand for alles opmærksomhed, da han en nat bliver taget i at stjæle en travhest. Centaur har en stor kærlighed til heste og tror på, at det kirgisiske folk stammer fra de mytologiske væsener kentaure, som er halvt mand, halvt hest
Who is Centaur? The people in the small village in Kyrgyzstan, where he lives, are convinced that Centaur is nothing more but a quiet and modest man. However, they are shocked when he is caught stealing a racehorse at night. Why has he done this? What does he want to achieve? Centaur has this belief that the Kyrgyz people have been punished by Heavens for misusing their power. That same power they once had of being united and invincible thanks to their horses. Setting free race horses and praying for forgiveness is Centaur’s way to take off the curse of his people. To remind them who they really are.
