Mann mit braunem T-Shirt reitet auf einem weißen Pferd vor verschwommenem grünem Hintergrund, Filmplakat für den Film WESTERN von Valeska Grisebach mit Auszeichnungen des Lux Film Prize und Festival de Cannes.

A group of German construction workers start a tough job at a remote building site in the Bulgarian countryside. The foreign land awakens the men's sense of adventure, but they are also confronted with their own prejudice and mistrust due to the language barrier and cultural differences. The stage is quickly set for a showdown when two men begin to compete for recognition and favor from the local villagers.
