SYNOPSIS
It’s an ordinary day at a racing stable nestled in the mountains, two hours from Bangkok. Humans and animals repeat their daily tasks. As the routine unfolds, a portrait of bodies working under strict discipline takes shape: racehorses in the foreground, with jockeys as a counterpoint, the two mirroring each other.
