An imaginative and playful collage of images from the life of cows. A mosaic of small stories from around the world, in which cows experience both positive and negative moments, depicts the life of an animal in a global world and its relationship with man. Visually colorful images depict the cow as a sensitive creature worthy of admiration. The film gives hope for a better world with its stylized poetics, playfulness and humor.

When Hana Sikorova, mayor of a northern Bohemian village, stands up to a large coal mining concern that offers villagers large compensation in exchange for abandoning their houses built on land containing brown coal deposits, her fourteen year old daughter Misha disappears. The search for her daughter makes Hana suspicious of the whole community, after years of peaceful coexistence. Under the pressure of unfolding events, the community starts to fall apart and show its true face. Solving the mystery divides the story into several interweaving narratives that ultimately connect in unexpected ways.
