Almeria, Tabernas
desert, 2002. Texas Hollywood
is a dusty village where, decades before, Westerns were shot. JULIÁN
(Sancho Gracia), a veteran and jaded stuntman, just barely
manages to survive there. Working with him are a series of drifters
and hopelessly nostalgic characters: CHEYENE
(Ángel de Andrés), the cowardly gunman; MANUEL
(Manuel Tallafé), the fearless stand-in; ARRASTRAO
(Enrique Martínez), the luckless rider; AHORCADO
(Eduardo Gómez), the sad hanged man; ENTERRADOR
(Luciano Federico), the jinxed Italian; DON
MARIANO (Ramón Barea), the owner of the village…
and half a dozen gypsies dressed up to look like Indians. They all
make their living by recreating pathetic action scenes for the handful
of foreign tourists that visit the area. The lives of these poor
devils undergo a radical change overnight, after the arrival of
CARLOS (Luis Castro), a boy
who claims to be Julian’s grandson.
While the kid’s grandmother, ROCÍO
(Terele Pávez), climbs up the walls in her new two
storey villa, his mother, LAURA (Carmen
Maura), an stressed businesswoman, decides to tackle once
and for all the ghosts of her past. She relies on the unconditional
–as well as self-interested- support of SCOTT
(Eusebio Poncela), her partner, a complete financial Shark.
From this point of no return onwards, wounds that have festered
combine with real estate speculation to give rise to a tragicomic
storm of unforeseeable consequences. Will 800
BULLETS be enough to defend a way of life based on an utter
film fantasy?
