Description
An old western-dialect slinging wrangler turns out to be a therapist. The grandson of a Kiowa chief? He is a psycho-babbling shrink. Professors on a working-and-drinking retreat mix cowboy lingo with Derrida's and a little Jung. And the residents of Cowboy Village go on doing what they must to get from one day to the next. A comedy of missed communication in which the characters are defined by how they talk.
