Sinossi
From the towns of Sardinia, young individuals emigrate at a very tender age to pursue a dream: to compete in the Palio di Siena. Becoming a jockey in Piazza del Campo, however, is not for everyone. The hunger for glory demands leaving their homeland, where it all began, riding bareback in the countryside and in the dustiest Palio. It’s a passion that requires sacrifices from dawn to dusk in the stables, waiting for something that may or may not come to fruition. This is an untold behind-the-scenes story, culminating at the exact moment when the spectacle of the Palio unfolds to the jubilation of the large audience.
