We join a travelling fraternity of horse-riders, a band of men and boys who journey across a landscape of saints’ shrines and wheat fields, of ancient cities and hidden rural communities of the great plains, to participate in the ancient equestrian ritual of Tbourida. This is a story of fraternal bonds, of community and belief, of transformation and courage, and of the power of performance. A film that delves into the layers of what constitutes a community of individuals and the beliefs and myths that compose it. Fiction and reality become one: the farmer becomes a general, the young man becomes a brave prince, the metal worker becomes a hero. ‘Bardi’ is a choral film, sung by different men and boys. It is an ode to a different kind of community, to the world of horses and of men, and to the passions that bind them.
