THE TWO HORSES OF GENGHIS KHAN tells the story of a young woman, Urna.

Urna’s grandmother was forced to destroy her once loved violin in the tumult of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. The ancient song of the Mongols, “The Two Horses of Genghis Khan”, was engraved on the violin’s neck. Only the violin’s neck and head survived the cultural storm.

Urna, driven by a promise to her deceased grandmother, journeys throughout Mongolia to have the violin rebuilt, and to locate the song’s missing verses.
