The echoes of the American West resound where one least expects. Yeniseisk is a little village in central Siberia whose history is also born in the Nineteenth Century, at the hand of Russian pioneers seeking of prosperous lands, finding gold mines, settling in the area and becoming the first settlers. Centuries later, in the current period, a mist covers wooden constructions, while horses and dogs stroll loose on the semi-deserted streets of a downtrodden town. The gaze of Belinchón seeks and underlines these features of the western that, almost as a perfectly integrated, incongruent phenomena, emerge in this distant geography.
