While exiled in Switzerland, Gustave Courbet gave himself to the great pleasures of life: One is bewitched by the freedom of this body, whose wake untangles the lanes of the borough, of this big belly which slowly parts waters, valleys and woods.

When he was painting, Courbet would plunge his face in nature, his eyes, his lips, his nose, both his hands, at the risk of going astray, but most of all of being dazzled, uplifted, freed from himself. This period is usually summed up in two facts —Courbet stops painting and he kills himself with drinking — but there is a much longer story to tell. This secret, tested in the fire of la Commune de Paris, is the contagious joy of a man who is the master of himself.

The wind of History blows through this romanesque fresco which is also a fable on the vanity of strength and power. On the outskirts of a burgeoning town that all trails lead to, a fresh breath is blowing over the inhospitable prairies of the Far West. That breath belongs to Water-Running-Over-the-Plains, a young Indian woman whose clan was decimated and who has been using her skills as a healer for the good of both Whites and Indians ever since.

She will meet plenty of people: And plenty of other characters whose singular fates, like the entwined strands of a colorful skein of wool, are woven into a boldly revisited Western tale in which that mythically untamed American landscape becomes a shared, still-permeable space open to all sorts of trafficking, transits and wanderings.
