Synopsis:
The year is 2002, the setting desert area of Almeria, Spain. Texas Hollywood is a dusty town in the west in which for decades not a single film has been screened. Here lives Julian, film veteran. Here are also Cheyene – timid gunman, Manuel – thoughtless stand-in, Arrastrao – a rider with not much luck, the Hanging man – who says he was once hung, himself, Enterrador – Italian, Don Mariano – owner of the town... and the usual complement of Gypsy-Indians. All of them survive playing out pathetic action scenes for the tourists who come to visit the once famous town where spaghetti westerns were made. The situations for all those poor actors will soon dramatically change. There appears a boy Carlos, who says he ran away from home and claims to be Julien’s grandson. His mother, Laura, searches for him and is determined once and for all to face the sprits of her past… With this film Alex de la Iglesia was nominated in several catogories for the most important film award in Spain - Goya.
