For the second screening in our “French Film of the Month” series, discover Holy Cow (Vingt Dieux, Louise Courvoisier 2024), which follows the adventures — and misadventures — of Totone, a country teenager forced to take care of his little sister after their father dies in a car accident. This story of love, resilience, and resourcefulness was awarded during the 2024 Cannes Film Festival with the Youth Prize in the Un Certain Regard section.
Synopsis: Totone, 18 years old, spends most of his time drinking beers and partying in the Jura region with his group of friends. But reality catches up with him: he has to take care of his 7-year-old sister and find a way to make a living. He then sets out to make the best Comté cheese in the region, the one that would win him the gold medal at the agricultural competition and 30,000 euros.
Duration: 1h30 Language: French with English subtitles
The tickets will soon be available at the web page of Cinema Orion (€9,5 – €12).
