Overview

After a cavalry group is massacred by the Cheyenne, only two survivors remain: Honus, a naive private devoted to his duty, and Cresta, a young woman who had lived with the Cheyenne two years and whose sympathies lie more with them than with the US government. Together, they must try to reach the cavalry's main base camp. As they travel onward, Honus is torn between his growing affection for Cresta.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A harsh revisionist Western that fractures the mythology of Manifest Destiny through the eyes of a soldier and a woman caught between two worlds. The film forces a reckoning with American violence against Indigenous peoples while tracing an unlikely bond forged in the desert.
