In late 19th-century America, the fascinating world of entertainment collides with history. Buffalo Bill, a charismatic and enigmatic figure, has organized an extravagant show where artists and Native Americans recreate feats of the Old West. His spectacle is a mega success, but his romanticized vision of history is soaked in interviews and controversies, especially with the iconic figure of Sitting Bull, the legendary Sioux leader.
Seated in the midst of a stage that blends reality with spectacle, Sitting Bull becomes a symbol of resistance and authenticity, while Buffalo Bill tries to mold him in his own way to create an even more appealing show. As the interactions between the two men unfold, the tension rises, highlighting the disparity between myth and historical truth.
Featuring a cast that showcases both comedic and dramatic brilliance, the film is a mix of satire and reflection on the impact of popular culture on the perception of history. The narrative offers a penetrating look at the complexity of American identity, questioning what happens when reality collides with fantasy. The contrast between the idealized vision of the West and the experiences of Native tribes is palpable, making it not only entertaining but also a powerful commentary on the cultural legacy that endures to this day. In this crossroads, humor and tragedy intertwine masterfully, delivering an unforgettable cinematic experience.
