Description

We open with a montage of polo players and horses cut to music by Stewart Copeland and then see the former Police drummer at home watching his own home movies. He explains how his interest in playing polo has developed. He likens the experience to leading a cavalry charge. He also talks about how his initial experiments with Super 8 filming has led to an interest in creating film scores. We see him at work in his home studio using a computer and synthesiser. The remainder of the film is taken up with views of Copeland playing polo (with much slow motion filming) accompanied by his score.
