In the California desert in the late 1960s, an intense manhunt unfolds when a young Native American, Willi Boy, becomes the target of the law after a tragic misunderstanding. After he and his beloved, an indigenous woman, become embroiled in a conflict with her father, the situation turns violent and Willi Boy is forced to flee. The story is set against a backdrop where the tension between indigenous communities and the white population is palpable, which adds a critical depth to the narrative.
The hunt escalates when a sheriff and a group of armed men set out in search of Willi Boy, determined to bring "justice" to their town. However, what seems like a simple chase soon evolves into a profound exploration of identity, oppression, and the struggle for freedom. In his quest to save himself and reunite with his beloved, Willi Boy leaves a trail of dignity that challenges the conventions of his time.
As the hunters become the true villains of the story, the film questions preconceived notions about law, morality, and who the real savages are. With a barren landscape as a backdrop, this tale of love and the fight for human dignity transforms the classic western into a reflection on the suffering and resilience of native communities.
