Соблазнительная и печальная, Розлин специально приехала в городок Рино, чтобы развестись с мужем. В местном баре Розлин и ее приятельница Изабель - неунывающая дамочка преклонных "средних лет", специалистка по разводам - знакомятся с двумя ковбоями. Гэй и Гвидс - мужчины с большим жизненным опытом тоже одинокие и неприкаянные. Они странствуют по Неваде в поисках случайного заработка, и горячий ветер пустыни, суровая мужская дружба, тяга к виски, мальчишеская влюбленность в родео и недостроенный домик вдалеке от города - это все, что у них есть. Богатством, которым ковбои обладают, они готовы поделиться с Розлин, которая ищет верности и настоящего человеческого тепла. Странная компания и присоединившийся к ним неудачливый ковбой Пирс отправляются в горы на ранчо, чтобы "как в старые добрые времена" объезжать диких невадских мустангов...

The film is part of Eye Filmmuseum’s Mutoscope and Biograph Collection. This collection consists of about 200 films preserved on their original 68 mm format. The digital file provided is scanned in 2022 at Eye Collection Center, from the 35 mm duplicate negative that was made in 1998. After the first analogue preservation round made 25 years ago, Eye is now undertaking the digital restoration of the Mutoscope & Biograph Collection. “Mardi Gras Carnival” became the focus of attention, thanks to its inclusion within ‘The Artistry of REX’ exhibition, that opened in the summer of 2022 at the Louisiana State Museum.
A singular cinematic figure, San Francisco’s Mike Henderson became one of the first independent African-American artists to make inroads into experimental filmmaking in the 1960s. Henderson’s work throughout the 1970s and 1980s, from which this program of 16mm films is culled, thrums with a sociopolitical, humorous sensibility that lends his small-scale, often musically kissed portraits (which he later dubbed “blues cinema”) a personal, artisanal quality. - Film Society of Lincoln Center. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2016.

Дэвид и Ева прожили вместе 47 лет, и весьма несчастливо. Их любовь выцвела, словно окраска их дома. Дэвид хочет продать их жилище и переехать в дом престарелых. Ева и слышать об этом не желает — в буквальном смысле. Когда эта тема всплывает, она отключает свой слуховой аппарат. Если время лечит, то ему следует поторопиться — времени у Евы осталось совсем немного. Путь к примирению с мужем и семьей будет неблизким — и географически, и душевно.
