A head of his time

A countercultural Western that blends music, surrealism, and buddy-film dynamics into a loose, episodic journey through an increasingly bizarre frontier landscape.

A blacksmith and an amateur gunslinger embark on journey through the west together but soon separate and have surreal experiences of their own.
