This documentary follows several species of migratory birds over a four year filming period. These birds travel several hundreds if not thousands of miles toward the equator in the autumn, and make the return journey to their higher latitude summer homes in the spring, always taking the same route, using the natural compasses of the universe, the stars, to find their way. Some species, like the arctic tern, even fly from pole to pole. These long and often torturous treks are a matter of survival, to live in a hospitable climate and find sources of food. With the exception of migratory penguins, travel over oceans is especially difficult as the birds have little refuge unless there is something floating on the water, such as a ship, on which to land. Otherwise they must continue flying until they reach land. Some will not survive the migration due to predators, including man, illness or injury. Although the migrations themselves are done as a community, once the birds reach their respective summer and winter homes, they disperse into family units. And every continent is affected by the migration as every continent is home, at least part of year, to a species of migratory bird.

"Hungary's spirits are back up - on a horse", declare the newspaper headlines. "The horse who gave a nation back its pride." When the thoroughbred is pounding down the manicured furlongs of an international racecourse - its jockey clad in the red, white and green of the Hungarian flag - the country can forget about the resignation of its Prime Minister, the rapid devaluation of its currency, and the IMF bailout. In these times of economic anemia, the four-year-old Overdose has become the Hungarian Seabiscuit. "The Hungarian people are starving for some kind of success, for something to look up to", says Zoltan Mikoczy, the horse's owner. "Some of us think we are going to change the world with this horse." Bought for a pittance back in 2006, Overdose - nicknamed the Budapest Bullet - was a revelation, going on to win five derbies and eight championships with his training team based in Dunakezsi. But when Mikoczy becomes embroiled in scandal over smuggling lawsuits and bankruptcy claims, Overdose's future looks to be in jeopardy. In an attempt to keep him in the country, business leaders club together to buy a 50% stake. "Having pronounced Overdose a symbol of the Hungarian recovery, it would be very embarrassing if he lost his citizenship." With outside investment, however, comes outside influence. Between the conflicting interests of sponsor and trainer, the animal's well being becomes a matter of opinion. "Either they stop this nonsense, or mess him up and make him lame", says Sandor Ribarszki, his former handler. "Sandor Ribarszki hasn't got a Hungarian trainer's permit, so he can't be Overdose's trainer any more", stresses one of the horse's 10 new owners. "That relationship is over. It's a national affair now." Following Overdose's entourage as he works towards a comeback, this crafted doc looks beyond the brass bands and silverware to the politics of the stable, where tensions simmer and tempers fray.
