German auteur Wim Wenders and American screenwriters Sam Shepard and L.M. Kit Carson collaborated on this unique insider/outsider portrait of 1980s Texas, from the vast west desert to skyscraper canyons of Houston. Harry Dean Stanton stars as a man who, after vanishing for four years, reappears to reconnect with his young son (Hunter Carson) and estranged wife (Nastassja Kinski). A poignant, visually stunning, exploration of family, memory, and redemption.
