Mazeppa is the history of a passion. The exclusive passion which attaches two men to horses. One wears himself out wanting to paint them in movement, it is Théodore Géricault, famous artist of the XIXth century. The other one is proud of dominating them completely, it is Franconi, the rider who manages an itinerant troop of riders and who we call “master”. What gathers these two men is the master’s will to teach Géricault what a horse really is, and Géricault’s yearning to learn.
