This animated western is set between office buildings. The protagonist has an extraordinary idea to break from everyday routine. After his morning coffee he digs out a dusty cowboy’s costume, puts it on and goes to work. On his way he rebels against all the rules governing the modern society. Riding though the city on a horse, accompanied by the sounds of country music, he shows how to make every day matter and how to avoid turning your life into a pitiful repetition of everyday routine.
