A patchwork of true stories from the life of cows. The film starts with an idyllic image of a pasture with cows enjoying their free movement after having spent the winter in a cowshed. The joy is disrupted by episodes from all over the world showing cows going through both positive and negative situations. This film is not merely critical, it also contains optimistic images from the life of cows, who are closely connected to people and it brings hope for a better world.
