One story. Three endings.
In a cluttered Wild West bunkhouse, three cowpokes try to keep a restless herd calm through the night. When singing fails and tempers fray, they turn to storytelling. Each cowpoke has their own version of the same tale about two brothers, a stolen elixir and a choice that changes everything. But as the stories grow wilder, darker and more revealing, it becomes clear these aren’t just bedtime tales for cattle. Rivalries surface, old wounds reopen and the line between fiction and truth begins to blur. As dawn approaches, the trio must face whether logic, aggression or kindness wins in the end.
Blending physical comedy, audience interaction and sudden emotional turns, this offbeat western explores masculinity, memory and the stories we tell to live with ourselves.
