Franco Nero is a gunslinger, per the film's title the last of his breed; he goes to an abandoned warehouse - the setting, presumably, is the present - and commits ritual suicide. An 8-minute short that's clearly an ode to the Spaghetti Western subgenre (though shot in black-and-white) and featuring one of its more durable stars. Even if very little actually happens - and, rather than utilizing music from Nero's own Westerns, the soundtrack draws on the instantly-recognizable scores composed by maestro Ennio Morricone for the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone films - it manages, in its limited duration, to be oddly elegiac and, indeed, is quite nicely done in every department.
