Co-produced by Damberger Film & Cattle Company and the NFB with the participation of Telefilm Canada and the Alberta Motion Picture Development in association with Kicking Horse Productions Ltd.
A 30-year-old immigrant butcher, an East German flower child in search of love and marriage, a dubious travelling salesman with a bad golf swing, a confused Native man on a vision quest, a gnarled old rancher and an ageing yellow Honda Civic. Together, they drive and putt their way into a world of comic coincidence and soulshaking experiences, until they eventually find their own homes on the range, where what's important "ain't what is, it's what could be." This rumbling, rollicking, comic adventure takes the Western myth and rides it for all it's worth!
