Ballade pour un cow-boy
Frédéric Laffont
2006 - 64 min - HDV - Couleur - France

A road. A never-ending road, as unreal as dreams. Five hats and five saddles in the trunk.
With the car tank to be filled up and paid for and not enough money to eat well. The necessity to make some bucks at the next contest.
Hoping to draw the right horse. Falling, hurting oneself, not telling the insurance company about it for fear of losing it, still dreaming of a ranch at the end of the road, getting on the road again for another few hundred miles...
Men fighting against horses’ kicks, road miles, the electricity bills of their mobile homes.
The life of a rodeo cowboy.
