AND Alessandro Borghi de Co -Star DDThe heads or crosses? The new film of the pair of directors Rigo Alassio van Rigis and Matthewpresented to Cannes Film Festival 2025 in the section A certain look And starting in the cinemas in Italy in Italy, which is inspired by a historical fact. That’s the tour trips through the show Wild West Showin which Buffalo Bill He organized (in a very imaginative way) the legendary history of the conquest of the West, throughout Europe, including Italy, a first time in 1890 and therefore in 1906.

The show, in which both cowboys and Indians participated, contained fictional reactions of companies performed by Buffalo Bill itself, A reconstruction of the Battle of Little BighornWhere General Custer, Redi, Horse Riding and Sagittance Races died. A kind of circus with many animals, horses of course, but also bisons, bears and more.

While Rosa, the young woman trophy of the landlord (Nadia Tereszkiewicz), For some time he was tired of being treated as a property that he will be enjoying, responds to the umpteenth humiliation that the husband and aggression have suffered from Santino, which killed him with a shot. For example, the escape from Rosa and Santino, of which everyone regards as the murderer and whose head is a rich size, began, also chased by Buffalo Bill himself (played by John C. Reilly).
