Holy Cow (15)

Parent & Baby Screening

Three teenagers ride on top of a red tractor, grinning

In rural France, 18-year-old Totone must face reality and take responsibility for his younger sister. His solution, to make the best Comté cheese in the region and bag the prize money. 

Living a typical, wild life in the Jura region of South Eastern France, Totone deals with rural boredom and frustration, focusing on honing his craft to escape this pent-up isolation. 

Working with local non-professionals and embedding herself in this often distrustful community, Holy Cow gives us a raw, unfiltered look at this world. Lead actor Clément Faveau is a poultry farmer in real life and gives a fantastically irate performance. 

Winning the Un Certain Regard Youth Award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Louise Courvoisier balances her time as a director with working on her family farm. Her lived experience creates this rough, but golden hearted story about rural hooligans and marginalised community.
