From the shadows of the majestic Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan comes the story of Azam, a shepherd and Buzkashi champion, who faces the pressures of modernization in the sport and in his own personal life. Azam plays in the traditional way: for honor as an individual, but his success is increasingly thwarted by organized alliances, a.k.a. mafias, encouraged by his rival Khurshed, a member of Tajikistan's nouveau riche. Between challenges on the field and at home within his own family, Azam tries to find a place for himself in the new Tajikistan.
