In Europe there are also cowboys, Indians, peoples with their own legislation, white horses, solitary anti-heroes, civilized, savages, colonizers and colonized; in short, westerns.

The Western film, by Valeska Grisebach, is once again revolutionizing the cowboy films of many houses, but keeping all the elements of this cinematic genre. In a film by Anthony Mann, which appears as archetypes of the past, the German director perfectly embodies the current characters and the European socio-economic context.

From the old deserts of the EE.UU. up to the green mountains between Bulgaria and Greece. German workers arrive in a lost town to build a hydroelectric reservoir, and the nodes of this coexistence make up the narrative.

Slow, realistic, intimate, raw, maybe some will say it's boring. I would only see her again for seeing the last scene. Yes, from start to finish.
