[edit] Plot
The film shows a family of French Basque immigrants pioneering into the Wild West while carrying their ancestral vines.
It is infamous among Basques for its misunderstandings of Basque customs, such as the use of the xistera (a device of the jai alai sport) as a weapon or shouting irrintzi ululations as meaningful communication.
