Escape to the hills of sunny Tuscany!
Midway between the birthplace of Machiavelli and the cradle of the Italian Mafia lies the stunning city of Siena. For almost 800 years, it has been the home of the oldest horse race in the world: the Palio, a race that creates intense competition and rivalries. In the eye of the storm stand the jockeys: loved and loathed by the districts they represent, they forge alliances and make deals with large sums. Two races away from beating the world record, legendary rider Luigi Bruschelli will do anything to win—but one jockey stands in his way. Their passionate battle captures a microcosm of Italian life, in this tense and exciting film set amidst one of the most beautiful places in the world.
