After the tragic death of his father, Totone (18) is thrust into the unexpected and very adult role of looking after his younger sister and their failing family farm in the Jura region of France. He takes on even more responsibility when he enters a cash competition for the best Comté cheese made in this western part of the French Alps. A vérité-style look at the hardscrabble life of French agriculture, the film is simultaneously a coming-of-age story and, above all, an ode to the love of cheese.
