Synopsis
Marc Pierschel's shares the same philosophy with his last work . When Jan Gerdes inherited his father's farm, he ditched the old dairy farming ways and converted the farm to a cow sanctuary together with Karin. In this place, 'animals' are not 'livestock' any more and they are allowed to graze on grass and feel the sunshine. Enlightened by this 'paradise', the director visits the farm owner, the neighbors, artists, and activists over 2 years to talk about the values of life and coexistence of humans and animals. In the meantime, something so alien from this utopian farm is happening in some other place. A Super Cow Competition is held with genome-edited cows. Ever since separating 'livestock' from 'animals', the system and industry have developed accordingly. The director reveals the present state of the industry alongside the paradise, showing two very different aspects of the same age.
