If movies about slapping inebriated mules is something that gets you off, then have I got a film for you.
Horses is set in an Iranian village near the Iraqi border.
Because of the ongoing conflicts between the two countries, the snowy area is littered with landmines, making passage extremely difficult. This is bad news for the Iranians who make their living smuggling goods to Iraq via pack mule. These smugglers give their mule alcohol, based on how low the temperature is supposed to be. Horses focuses on a family of five orphaned Kurdish children who have lost their mother during childbirth and their father in a landmine explosion. Madi also needs an operation or he'll die.
