The Far West, one of the founding myths of American history, a source of fascination for more than a century. Real or imagined, it remains for many synonymous with magic and mystery. For seven French men and women, this dream became a reality. The Call of the West is a documentary road movie that takes us to the heart of the Far West. It is a group portrait of these French individuals who, convinced that the key to their future lay in the American past, left home and country to build new lives here. Where are they from? Who are they today? Do they feel like the pioneers of the past? How do they regard their new environment and how do Americans see them?
