Cowgirl’s last ride


 

From Susan Cartsonis and Suzanne Farwell, the production powerhouse team responsible for some of the biggest-grossing female-driven films of all time such as WHAT WOMEN WANT, THE HOLIDAY, WHERE THE HEART IS, and THE INTERN. COWGIRL’S LAST RIDE is a comedic odyssey set against the vast landscapes of rural Texas.

COWGIRL’S LAST RIDE is set against the vast landscapes of rural Texas where an unorthodox retired Texas cowgirl named Fay (Davis), who after battling against the negligent staff of her Dallas nursing home, escapes in a pickup truck on a journey towards her native East Texas where her more conventional son Randall (McNairy) is planning to sell her old home. Randall, besides himself with worry, sets off in hot pursuit, his wife and children all concerned by this family upheaval. Along her way, Fay starts to revisit the memories and people from her vibrant past; an extraordinary encounter with fellow battler Cali (Scott) an impactful turning point. This ride of rediscovery leads her to reconnect with the woman she once was, reclaiming her identity as she ditches the pickup truck for a proper horse.

With a duffle bag and an oxygen tank secured to the saddle, Fay avoids the blare of police sirens and travels through storms to make her way back to her former home, intent on preserving the last remnants of her lost past and reconnecting with her family, the only way she knows how.
