Holy Cow

Louise Courvoisier’s Holy Cow is a warm, authentic, and refreshing coming-of-age drama set in the French Jura region. The story follows Totone, an 18-year-old party animal who must suddenly care for his young sister after their father’s death. Seeking quick cash, he starts a chaotic, often humorous quest to make award-winning Comté cheese. Featuring a largely non-professional cast, the film thrives on raw, naturalistic performances, particularly from newcomer Clément Faveau. It is a compassionate, earthy look at rural youth, balancing grief with resilience, culminating in a
touching, feel-good story.
