Synopsis
Jacques, a Brussels man in his forties, one day meets the fakir Abracadabra who, before dying, transmits to him an exceptional power of which Jacques ignores the effects. Random steps, he will then meet a researcher of gold, Gabriel, generous character, disguised as Davy Crockett who will follow him without asking questions. The two companions, soon joined by others, set out to conquer the Far West, their childhood as Voltaire sought the Eldorado and Saint-Exupéry the unknown planet.
Because the Far West is nowhere: it is an imaginary plot as everyone likes to dream, a piece of happiness buried in the heart ...
