Plot – It's 1984 and Amarene, a small oil-rich village in Texas, gets ready to celebrate its centenary, organized by the mayor and his friend Duane Jackson. He is an oil tycoon, who once was rich, but now he risks the failure. He is supported only by the old Ruth Popper, who works for the mayor, while his wife openly cheats on him. Duane distracts himself with one-night stands, but he isn’t able to forget that feeling of frustration, disappointment and boredom that also affects the town. Fortunately, the discovery of a new well and the return of a lover will shake his boring days up.
