Texas

Synopsis:
Texas dates from the late 1990s and views macho brotherhood through the eyes of underpaid immigrant laborers. or newly arrived college boy Steven, brothers Duke and Danny are the host family from hell: messy, macho hayseeds living in a trashy trailer. there's only one bed, a mattress placed atop the kitchen table. What's more, the trailer's anchored in the rural plains of the Lone Star State, miles from anywhere. Steven needs to escape, but there are wild dogs outside, and his hosts are counting on Steven's housing stipend. each character also has something to hide, which transforms Texas into a claustrophobic comedy about confinement, coercion and, later, confession
