Event Description
Following the sudden death of his father, a hard-partying dairy farmer, 18-year-old Totone is reluctantly thrust into adulthood. The film charts Totone’s unconventional path to responsibility as he takes a job at a nearby dairy farm, falls for the farmer’s daughter, and hatches a plan to save his family by entering a regional cheese competition—with a 30,000 Euro prize for the best Comté.
Equal parts coming-of-age fable and pastoral portrait, this charming and flavorful story celebrates both the emotional messiness of growing up and the earthy traditions of French agricultural life—sure to delight cinephiles and cheese lovers alike.
