A moving and heartfelt story about the lengths one would go to help their family

When Oyuna was a baby, a horse accidentally crushed her foot, cursing her family with bad luck. Oyuna vows to restore good fortune to her family...but how?

One fateful day, soldiers from the great Khan's army invade her village to steal horses and gather new soldiers.
