Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The pitiful pursuit in the terrible desert of Bukistan, between a Cuban revolutionary emigrated to New York, a wandering Swiss, a super sexy robot and a sheriff who got the wrong western. Nearby, an unemployed Buddhist Chinese man preaches the good word on his way back from the supermarket. What are they doing there? The Chinese will know it at its expense, but not us!

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
