Description "Drawing on the genres of road movie and mythic quest, Western maps the nature of desire, fear of intimacy and our capacity to love. A story unfolds as a young bride on the run picks up a man left for dead beside the road. He is dressed as a cowboy but the chaps are fake. A sense of separation and longing for intimacy pervade the landscape as they travel into the unknown heart of the desert. They provoke each other to reveal themselves, uncovering the raw emotion and candour beneath the masks and lies."
