Scrappy 18-year-old Totone is as irresponsible as they come, partying all night and sleeping it off all day. So his father’s sudden death is like a splash of cold water across his face, thrusting him into adulthood without warning. Now forced to care for his little sister, tend the failing family farm and somehow make a living, he decides that his magical “big fix” will come by winning a gold medal for the best Comté cheese at the next agricultural competition… and collecting the €30,000 grand prize. But attaining discipline, not to mention culinary excellence, is not nearly as easy as he thinks. It’s a little like his best buddy’s beloved stock car racing — sometimes you have to take a tumble or two before you can move forward. Louise Courvoisier‘s coming-of-age first feature, Holy Cow, illustrates that bumpy path to maturity in minute, heartfelt detail.
