Trailer & Synopsis
Pedro Almodóvar’s sizzling queer Western short film stars Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal – direct from Cannes’ 2023 Official Selection. This is the first production from luxury fashion house Saint Laurent, offering a curated space of expression for talents with unique costumes designed by Anthony Vaccarello.
A man rides a horse across the desert that separates him from Bitter Creek. He comes to visit Sheriff Jake (Hawke). Twenty-five years earlier, both the sheriff and Silva (Pascal), the rancher who rides out to meet him, worked together as hired gunmen. Silva visits him with the excuse of reuniting with his friend from his youth, and they do indeed celebrate their meeting, but the next morning Sheriff Jake tells him that the reason for his trip is not to go down the memory lane of their old friendship...
“The strange way of life referred in the title alludes to the famous fado by Amalia Rodrigues, whose lyrics suggest that there is no stranger existence than the one that is lived by turning your back on your own desires.” - Pedro Almodóvar
Please note this short film will be proceeded by an interview with Almodóvar discussing the film!
