Cover art for Ditmas lyrics by Mumford & Sons

I would like to know more about the Ditmas video. I know it's about a Cossack horse whisperer, but why this video with this particular song? And I'd just to know more about the video itself. Anyone know?

PS: love the song and the beautiful video!

I also don`t see a connection between the song and the film. But it is common thing for music market. My colleagues were shooting this music video in Ukraine, so I know some facts about production process. The director, Alex Southam was really passionate about Cossack, he explored this subject from different aspects (as a martial art or as spiritual spactice). In Ukraine he met a main character Evheniy (who is actually a Cossack, he breaks and trains horses) so apparently the director was really inspired to build a film showing this art (or even a lifestyle).
