Gold Rush

Colorado, 1860: Three women, a mule and a map drawn by an illiterate to get to the gold sometimes found on the high mountains. The hardships of their endeavor first bring a lonely foreign widow closer together with the dubious German emigrants Olga and Dora. But the more time they spend in the harsh wilderness, the more manners deteriorate and the last bit of humanity gives way to ruthless greed. A feminist western based on the ballad "The Gold Diggers" by Emanuel Geibel.
