Year of residence
As I navigate uncharted territories constructing my identity as a trans man, I felt drawn to a reliable archetype: the cowboy. Compelled by its power as a symbol of freedom, I wanted to queer it and make it my own. Through Billi's journey, I explore what happens when personal desires clash with societal expectations - a conflict I know intimately but one that speaks to anyone who's felt like an outsider. Set against the little known backstage of Spaghetti Westerns, this film examines how imagination guides us when there's no map, inviting viewers to reflect on the price of authenticity and the challenges of finding oneself in a world that lags behind.
