From the savannahs of West Africa to the alpine meadows of Switzerland—similarities and differences of the bovine kind are contrasted and revealed. A Burkina Faso breeder meets a Swiss dairy farmer, and an organic Swiss farmer meets a charismatic vet from the Sahel. Their talk is an encounter of the second dimension, between the Third World and a consumer society, providing a clever analysis of the philosophy of milk. Part burlesque, part poetry, the film reveals people understanding and implementing change for the betterment of themselves and their herds.
