The film tells the story of a young lawyer’s birthday round the clock, as he tries to untangle the tangle of his obligations – those of employee, son, lover, friend; the small feat that each day requires until he reaches the end of his life. A tangle he inherited from his parents’ “glorious” generation. But unlike those who always had someone else “to blame”, he can’t afford to worry about that, but rather how he will manage to survive. The adventure of a not-at-all brave cowboy forced to cross the modern-day Far West.
