WINNER - YOUTH AWARD - UN CERTAIN REGARD - CANNES FILM FESTIVAL After the tragic death of his father, 18 year old Totone is thrust into the unexpected and very adult role of looking after his younger sister and their failing family farm in the Jura section of France. He assumes even more responsibility when he enters a cash competition for the best Comte cheese made in this western part of the French Alps. A verite look at the hardscrabble life of French agriculture, it is simultaneously a moving love story and above all an ode to the love of cheese.
