Desperado

Four cowboys spend the weekend together. Heroes in their innermost thoughts. In reality, heroism is horribly far off. Straightfaced, they analyze the world, work, worries and women. The hope for great achievements and grand adventures seems abandoned.

Desperado, a text written in 1995, seems to paint a picture of how the aggrieved white Trump voters feel: misunderstood, disadvantaged, their masculinity under attack. Thanks to the sometimes subtle and then rough humor, the authors Ton Kas & Willem de Wolf succeed in drawing a sad and at the same time hilarious human portrait.
