Film Description

Aka Cows. First feature from Medem is an epic rural drama telling the mixed fortunes of two Basque families covering the years 1875-1936. A quartet of tales that explores incest, adultery and family rivalry. Rooted in Basque culture, it’s a powerfully universal and human story. A bleak but imaginative blend of fantasy and reality.
