Produced by Maison Saint Laurent, Almodóvar’s simmering queer western struggles to contain the chemistry between its two silver‑fox protagonists, Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal. The Spanish master’s tribute to the myth of the American frontier, witness to the eternal battle between order and disobedience, is here brought to life by new Lonesome Cowboys and their fierce, unrestrained passions.

Pedro Almodóvar
Pedro Almodóvar, a multi‑award‑winning Spanish director, screenwriter, and producer, began his artistic training with the theatre group Los Goliardos. He began working in cinema in the 1970s, making his first short films. He made his official feature‑length debut with Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls on the Heap (1980), which premiered at the San Sebastián Film Festival. In 1985 he founded the production company El Deseo, which has financed all his projects, from Law of Desire (1987) to the short Strange Way of Life (2023) and his latest feature The Room Next Door (2024). His bold and provocative cinema explores human relationships and sexuality tout court, regularly featuring actors such as Rossy de Palma, Antonio Banderas, Penélope Cruz, and Javier Bardem.
