Pedro Almodóvar returns to Cannes with an entertaining divertissement: this 30-minute short, starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke, is a queer western with a hint of kink.
Pascal is Silva, a handsome Mexican cowpoke who comes riding into a remote western town with the resonant name of Bitter Creek. Having tethered his horse and affectionately nuzzled it in a way that might have been alien to John Wayne, Silva comes to see the sheriff, Jake, played by Hawke.
