The Marfa Blues – searching for treasureby John EgenesVera DeSoto runs a cafe in Marfa, Texas in 1968. The cowboys and truckers who come in fantasize and hope for a chance with her, but she enjoys her solitary life and isn’t ready to settle down with anyone.

They will learn what finding treasure really means. A classic yarn, full of surprises, with all the right elements: love and loss, hope and despair, outlaws and drug dealers, giant cloned cows, and the mysterious Marfa Lights.
