As their joint endeavors dwindle due to age and changing times, they find themselves in dire financial straits. In a bold yet desperate move, Tenneray proposes an audacious plan: they would stage a duel to the death in a bullfight arena, with the ticket proceeds going to the winner.Their decision sets off a chain of events that brings together a motley crew of characters - from ambitious promoters seeking to capitalize on this macabre spectacle to a local journalist who smells a captivating story. As tensions rise and alliances are tested, we explore themes of pride, loyalty, and the eternal struggle for survival in an unforgiving world. The movie masterfully juxtaposes the brutal violence of the Wild West with the underlying human drama, offering viewers a unique perspective on the duality that defines both the characters and their time.
