First of all its a really simple storyline: An old family father becomes a thief, when he steals horses to ride them in the night. The character himself is friendly but as well as controvesrial, as stealing horses is a crime in Kyrgyzstan, even in the 21st century. But the hero sticks to old times, where all people has been families and living in tents, and horses with wings were the gate to heaven.
The movie has a lot of modern, western elements, which makes it much more accesible, comparable to some of the kyrgiz movies from the past - its not an art movie at all, it is the visible evolution of the Kyrgyz cinema.
I´ve bee living in Kyrgyzstan for a year. Know all the areas and beautiful landscapes. I was watching kyrgyz movies ten years back, and I have to say I havent had high expectations for "Centaur". But the movie became such an lovely cinema experience for me that I felt like to be there in this beautiful country.
