High in the mountains of Guatemala lies the small Mayan town of Todos Santos. Each year, on November 1st the town celebrates it's legendary drunken horse race. This film follows Ramon as he prepares to race on the town's holy day for the first time. He follows 9 days of prayer, preparation and alcohol as he joins the men of his family as a rider. As Ramon enters a alcohol induced, trance-like state, for the day long race, the town erupts in celebration.
