Holy Cow (Vingt-dieu)
Carefree teen Totone spends his time drinking with friends and chasing romance. After the sudden death of his father, he is compelled to care for his precocious younger sister while trying to keep their dairy farm afloat. Various schemes later, he enters a cash competition for the best Comté cheese. Set in the gorgeous rural Jura region of Eastern France, Holy Cow is a coming-of-age story and an ode to the love of cheese. Winner of two César Awards including Best First Film and Best Female Revelation (Maïwene Barthelemy).
