Atirkül in the Land of Real Men plot

Buzkashi has been a popular game in Central Asia for centuries. It is only played by men, who compete against each other on horseback. We see players galloping across vast plains and against a backdrop of snow-capped mountain peaks and a blue sky like rugby players diving on each other to grab a goat carcass on horseback and bring it past a goal line. The sound of neighing horses is reinforced by stirring drums.
