2025, Canada, 1'

An 8mm reel of a Hollywood western flickers to life once more. It ripples, trembles and tangles, caught in the chaos of gunfire and the thunder of galloping hooves.

8-milimetrski kolut hollywoodskega vesterna ponovno oživi. Valovi, se trese in zapleta, ujet v kaos streljanja in v grmenje drvečih kopit.
