Synopsis

Initiated by the Indians, Mike Blueberry (Vincent Cassel), a marshal in Palomito, tries to maintain the fine balance between two civilisations, at the risk of not belonging anywhere.

Everything changes the day a mysterious killer, Wally Blount (Michael Madsen), transforms the town into an inferno and brings up memories of his past. Blount is looking for an Indian "treasure".

Assisted by Runi (Temuera Morrison), the shaman "brother" he grew up with, Blueberry, must face Blount.
However, in the heart of the sacred mountains, Blueberry also has to fight with his own demons to gain his freedom.

Loosely inspired from the famous comic strip character, BLUEBERRY, Jan Kounen's film is a mixture of the Epic cowboy film and a supernatural ambiance. It is the story of the initiatory path of a man looking for his roots.
