Western is a 1997 French road film directed by Manuel Poirier. The narrative follows Catalonian Paco, a traveling representative for a shoe manufacturer. While on his journey, Paco stops to pick up a Russian emigree hitchhiker named Nino, which results in Paco finding himself stranded on the side of the road after having everything stolen from him. A local gift shop owner named Marinette provides the Spaniard with a lift, and a mutual attraction quickly develops between them, leading Paco to linger in the area after he loses his job over the stolen car episode. Later, Paco spots Nino in the same town and physically assaults the scrawny Russian, causing Nino to be hospitalized. Surprisingly, this violent encounter serves as the unexpected beginning of a friendship between the two men, who subsequently embark on a trip together.
