Eighteen-year-old rural boy Totone lost his father in a traffic accident. Now, the boy must take care of his seven-year-old sister on his own and find a way to support them. One day, he hears about a cheese-making competition offering a prize of €30,000 and decides to enter the contest on a whim. The protagonist of Holy Cow, Totone, evokes the image of a young cowboy who has become an orphaned rancher. The vibrant energy and charm of amateur actor Clément Paabo draw viewers to root for Totone throughout. Director Louise Courvoisier returns to her hometown of Jura, which she left at fifteen, to make her debut feature. While confronting the reality of a French dairy industry struggling with a lack of youth employment, Courvoisier brings warmth and affection to her characters, turning Totone’s adventure in Holy Cow into a lively and heartwarming comedy.
