With Maïwene Barthelemy, Clément Faveau
Winner of the Youth Prize at the 2024 Cannes International Film Festival, HOLY COW is a rough-and-ready coming of age film with a foodie angle, set in the Jura region of France, renowned for its famed Comté cheese and hearty cuisine. Totone (Faveau), a rude red-haired rascal, is forced by a tragedy to become guardian of his little sister and the failing family farm. The making and maturation of the cheese serves as an apt metaphor for the trajectory of the story and its zesty romance. A competition for best Comté cheese is a crafty strategy for giving viewers a fascinating glimpse of a little-known aspect of French country culture. In French with English subtitles.
”A joyful, earthy coming of age film about one of the most important things in life: good food.”–Meredith Taylor, Filmuforia
