Taking bribes and making deals is as essential as being a good rider in the Palio, the world’s oldest horse race. Giovanni, a young jockey, is up to the challenge when he faces his former mentor on the track. What ensues is a thrilling battle, with an intoxicating drama unfolding at its centre…
An annual horse race in an Italian city becomes a breathtaking, suspenseful and electrifying cinematic experience in this documentary about the eventful Sienese tradition. By following key players and revealing the high stakes of the competition, Palio paints a portrait of fierce local rivalry.
