Synopsis
Viggo Mortensen stars in what appears to be an old-fashioned Western, the story of a Native American police officer, Debonna, who is increasingly exasperated with her circumstances on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Intertwined is the tale of her niece, Sadie, who will soon break free... Argentinian director Lisandro Alonso (Jauja, 39th) crafts an enigmatic cinematic journey, resisting easy narrative tropes in favour of a patient examination of the Native American condition, as mediated through a quartet of cinematic genres and the oneiric passing of time.
