This is an automatically translated description

In the desert borderland between America and Mexico in the mid-nineteenth century, two ancient gods are confronted. Scalps are taken and rifles are fired, children and adults are killed, robbed and raped, magic tricks are performed and saved from death, bones are collected and danced. Cormac McCarthy has created a gnostic and poetic western based on a wide range of historical material, in which cruelty and mercy are intertwined like poisonous snakes in the eternal dance of life and death.
