The Soul of the Mongolian Horseman

In the Mongolian steppes, a family of horse herders welcomes four city children for several months.

 

They have come to learn the Morin Khuur, an ancestral fiddle, and the untamed nature of the plains are a great source of inspiration. Omba, a wise old musician, teaches them this magical instrument, said to have healing powers.

 

Back in their hometown, the children will continue playing the horse head fiddle, assuring the continuation of a great oral custom.
