The Cow (1996)
Directed by Karel Kachyňa
Overview
Adam is a young farmer. As a child, fleeing the bleak reality of his mother’s life as a prostitute, he tumbled from a mountain and was mentally injured. Years later, his mother is dying, so Adam sells their only cow to pay for medicine. Rosa, a beautiful young maid, fleeing the sexual exploitation of a wealthy butcher, climbs up to join them on their remote farm and dares to become part of Adam’s world. A cycle of life begins again, in a remote turn-of-the-century village tied to the land and its animals.
