Synopsis

Set in the late 1880s, Igor is a recent immigrant and widower who struggles to raise his two-year old son Ivo in the mountains of the American West. The harshness of winter brings new challenges, testing Igor’s parenting and survival skills. An unexpected acquaintance who provides occasional provisions offers Igor the chance to join his family’s horse business and move into their ranch. Igor is attracted to the idea that will give him and his son a true place in American society, but he struggles to leave behind their first American home. When Igor makes the decision to join Duncan and his family, he bids farewell to their home at his wife’s grave. With spring arriving at Duncan’s ranch, Igor and Ivo feel at home with the family: Duncan, his wife Bonnie, and their two girls Anna and Olivia. Igor learns how to be a cowboy and Ivo is nurtured by the girls. Duncan soon makes the announcement that the family should expand their horse business near the larger cities of California. The two families’ journey across America begins. After a series of encounters in their journey with both friend and foe, Duncan is left with a decision that will affect baby Ivo’s future, and his own family’s, forever... Three decades later, Ivo is now a full grown American cowboy who has taken his father's ranch and horse business into the 20th century. With WWI looming across the Atlantic, his horses are now needed on the fronts of distant yet familiar lands.
